UKS2 Literacy. Radio Adverts - Persuasive Writing Lesson

We are ExcitEd to share a fun and exciting lesson where children use persuasive writing skills to create radio adverts.

*** Radio Adverts - Can you persuade me??***

A one off, great fun lesson for UKS2.
Giving children a chance to revise persuasive writing skills and also to use their speaking and listening skills.

The included lesson notebook revises different persuasive writing techniques and focuses on how these are used in radio adverts to persuade listeners. Recordings of real radio adverts are included so that they may be discussed before asking children to have a go at making their own persuasive radio adverts.
The activity cards are differentiated - Yellow MA, Green A and Red LA
These were given out in the lesson in envelopes (so that other groups were not aware of each others target audience etc) and the children worked in pairs to come up with ways to persuade certain groups of people to visit various places.
e.g Elderly people to visit a swimming pool, children to visit a museum.

At the end of the lesson, children read out, or play their radio adverts. The rest of the class should then guess who the adverts were aimed at and discuss how and why they were successful.

Also includes a persuasive bingo plenary game

We bring you effective, teacher made, fun and creative resources for use in primary schools linked to the English National Curriculum.
