Objective: Engage Year 2 students in the world of persuasive texts and stimulate their curiosity.
Begin the lesson by showing the class a large, colourful poster of two delicious snacks: apple slices and chocolate chip cookies.
Write the words "Yummy Snacks!" at the top of the board. Ask the students:
Encourage students to raise their hands and share their opinions.
Now, tell the students they are going to have a fun debate about which snack is better!
Explain that they will learn how to use persuasive texts to convince others why their favorite snack is the best.
Give each student a sticky note and ask them to draw a picture of their favourite snack.
After the voting, gather the students in a circle. Encourage a few volunteers to share their drawings and give a short persuasive reason why their snack is the best.
For example, “I love chocolate chip cookies because they are sweet and make me happy!”
Finish by telling the students they will be exploring more about persuasive texts and learning how to write their own! Explain that by the end of the week, they will be able to create their own persuasive piece on their favourite food, toy, or game.
With excitement in the air and creative ideas bubbling, students will look forward to diving deeper into the world of persuasive writing!
This lesson introduction not only captures the students' attention but also encourages them to actively participate in their learning while introducing key concepts of persuasive texts.
