2 week Focus for Student Activities: Persuasive Texts (building awareness of purpose, audience, features and techniques within advertisements and letters)
KEY: Stage 1: Building knowledge of texts, Stage 2: Modelling the text, Stage 3: Joint construction
Week 1: Advertisements as persuasive texts
Outcomes Designing, Selecting and Sequencing Activities Resources Assessment
1. EN2-1A & EN2-8B
Ss by the end of
this lesson will
have informed
knowledge about
the purpose of
persuasive writing
and its features
and range of text
type.
Whole class collaborative group discussion, posing the question What is persuasive writing?
Create a semantic web about persuasive texts, prompting questions: Why do authors try to persuade
their readers? How do authors persuade their readers? What features are important in persuasive texts?
(Language/ modality, images, bold colours and font, incentives, rhetorical questions, passive, voice,
humour etc), What kinds of text types can be persuasive?
Ss in groups of four are provided with five different texts to read. Ss decipher which are persuasive texts
and which are not justifying their choices with the basis of knowledge developed with the semantic web.
Ss join together as a whole class and reflect on their findings continuously adding too and refining the
semantic web.

understanding of
persuasive texts.
T will Record short

2. EN2-1A & EN2-7B
Ss are able to
identify words of
modality/ emotive
language within
text and classify
them into word
groups and grading
(high, med, low)

Indicate to Ss the lesson focus (modality) and pose the question What is modality? and support a whole
class group discussion. Inform that modality is a persuasive text feature.
Display the KFC poster and ask Ss How does the language in this text make you feel? Does it persuade
you and why? upon Ss response indicate that the language used creates a low, medium or high
modality/ point of view and provide an example. Work with examples from the poster to compile a
range of words from low to high modality.
Display four phrases and as a class highlight the key modality words and classify as H, M, or L. Explain
that words of modality are also adjectives, verbs or adverbs and continue on to classify each word.
Working groups of 4 Ss select eight words from the modality word bank and identify them as adjectives,
verbs or adverbs and high, medium or low modality using the Our Modality Word Bank worksheet.
Ss join as a class to reflect on their learning adding to the semantic web

Ss effectively
decompose text
identifying the
purpose, audience,
visual and language
features of an
advertisement.
Indicate to Ss the learning intent: To deconstruct a persuasive advertisement to develop a thorough
understanding of the structure and features within it.
Using the Wave Splash Water Slide advertisement allow Ss to think pair share the feature that stood out
the most to them and why. Join in class discussion and share Ss thoughts.
Engage Ss (groups of 4) in a circuit brainstorm rotating around four stations (Text purpose, Text
audience, Visual features & Language features) documenting thoughts, ideas and finding in response to
their station question
Ss join together with to reflect on their findings in groups of 12 (three groups). T will guide the
discussion and prompt Ss to explain their findings.

Ss use the Editor In Chief worksheet to edit advertisements independently. Ss will focus on correcting
or adjusting grammar, language and vocabulary and visual appeal to enhance the modality of the text
using skills and knowledge developed in past lessons.

Prior to the commencement of week 2 students should engage in one to two independent writing (stage 4) lessons whereby the classroom teacher can assess the Ss learning
through the past 5 lessons to ensure an understanding of content and knowledge has been developed. This same process should be undertaken at the end of week 2.

4. Further detail
Present further detail from your teaching plan outline and provide detailed planning for two of the key lessons in your unit.
LESSON 2: PERSUASIVE ADVERTISEMENTS (Week 1)
Class: 4G & 4W Date: 25/6/2014 Time: 35 min duration
Key Learning Area: English Lesson Topic: Modality within persuasive texts (advertisements)
Recent Prior Experience: This lesson is the second of ten sequential lessons. It focuses primarily on the language of modality and how it is utalised within
persuasive texts. Students prior to this lesson have engage in a What is persuasive writing lesson whereby the learning intent was to develop an
understanding of what persuasive writing is by uncovering the purpose, features and range of text types included. Students at this point have developed
knowledge that persuasive texts vary among advertisements (commercials, poster, radio), letters, expositions and more. Students are aware that
persuasive texts are written from a singular point of view in order to persuade an audience to do or believe something. The previous lesson also introduced
students to some persuasive text features including but not limited to: passive language (modality or emotive language), images, bold colours and font,
incentives, rhetorical questions, passive, voice, humor and personal pronouns.
Syllabus Outcome(s):
EN2-1A
- Communicate in a range of
informal and formal context
by adopting a range of roles in
a group, classroom, school
and community contexts

EN2-7B
- Identifies and uses language
forms and features in their
own writing appropriate to a
range of purposes, audiences
and contexts
Indicators of Learning for this lesson:
EN2-1A
- Understand that social interactions influence the way people
engage with ideas and respond to others
- Understand that successful cooperation with others depends on
shared use of social conventions, including turn-taking patterns,
and forms of address that vary according to the degree of
formality in social situations
- Interact effectively in groups or pairs, adopting a range of roles

EN2-7B
- Understand how a range of language features can shape readers'
and viewers' understanding of subject matter
- Describe how audience and purpose impact on language forms
and features in imaginative, informative and persuasive texts
- Examine how evaluative language can be varied to be more or less
forceful
- Understand how audience and purpose influence the choice of
vocabulary
Assessment:
- T will conference with each group to
check progress and understanding. T
will prompt Ss to explain their
learning providing justification for
their answers EN2-1A & EN2-7B
- T will listen for verbal responses that
include associated vocabulary EN27B
- T collects Ss work and mark
classifications of modality making
anecdotal jottings and providing
written feedback to Ss EN2-7B
- T will observe Ss interactions in
groups ensuring an ability to turn
take, cooperate and work
collaboratively EN2-1A
Resources:
- IWB & per prepared PowerPoint presentation
- 12 copies of the Our Modality Word Bank Worksheet
Safety considerations:
- Ensure Ss are within safe distance of the IWB to avoid strain to eyes or neck
- Ensure Ss group members are compatible to avoid arguments or isolation

collaboratively complete the table.
- Display 4 phrases from the poser and ask Ss to bold the key modal word and indicate
its degree of effect, classifying it as high, medium or low.
- T indicates that words of modality are also adjectives, verbs or adverbs. Ask Ss to
define these terms and then continue on to classify the selected words in the text.

- T indicates the class activity providing explicit instructions for Ss to work collaboratively
in groups of four and select eight of the modal words displayed on the IWB and classify
them into word groups and select their degree of effect.
- T will explain that Ss are expected to work collaboratively and discuss their answers
with group members
