In term 1 we learnt about developing an argument both verbally and written. We did weekly debates on some very interesting topics which helped us to learn the structure and language used when trying to persuade an audience.

We also learnt how to write an exposition including the use of hyperbole, rhetorical questions, connective words, thinking verbs, evaluative language and modal verbs to make it more effective.

Check out individual student’s blogs to see a sample of the writing we did.

 

Welcome Students and Families to our blog for 2016. We have a lot planned this term and soon we will be starting our fortnightly reporters who will report on what has been happening in class. So watch this space!!
