Weekly Update

	This Week	Next Week
English	We will introduce our new topic in English- persuasive texts. We will work on identifying and using the features of persuasion (sentence starters, paragraphs, alliteration, groups of three, repetition, emotive language, exaggeration, and rhetorical questions).	We will continue our exploration of persuasive texts, looking to identify features commonly used in persuasive writing in other texts. We will then consolidate our understanding by producing our own persuasive advertisement.
