These resources aim to teach the principles of writing to persuade using the acronym 'A FOREST'. The first resource is to assess the knowledge students already have which is then used to reassess the knowledge gained during the lesson to help with formative assessments. Students then read through the persuasive writing information sheet before completing the worksheet (I stick the examples around the room for students to find). I then either get students to make a poster using the techniques or give them a pre-made one to identify techniques, dependent on ability.

I made this workbook to help my SEN year 11 group develop their understanding of basic English skills and techniques. Some topics we studies straight from the workbook, others were used before or after a targeted lesson on a specific topic. Some pages link specifically with Entry English controlled assessment tasks and others link to the iGCSE language exam.
