Persuasive Writing - Drama
This is a chance for students to practice their persuasive techniques in a way that is not just writing. Students have to create a drama skit of a news broadcast or a TV advert to promote their school. It has slides for students to write down their research about the school, a storyboard for them to fill out about their performance, a marking schedule and a reflection slide. It is a great task for students to complete in groups and something they can get on with without much need for teacher support.
