On Friday, you will be writing a persuasive letter to Mr Worth to persuade him to ban school uniform!For your TALK homework this week you should discuss:
-the arguments against wearing a school uniform
-the arguments for wearing a school uniform
-facts/evidence to support your argument
-persuasive words and phrases you could use
-rhetorical questions you could use
-use of repetition
-WOW words
-emotive language (Using words that make people feel sad, angry, upset, sympathetic or guilty)
As usual, the more talk the better! I have enclosed a sheet for to write your main reasons for banning school uniform and sheets giving reasons for and against the wearing of school uniform to help your discussion.
