Persuasive Writing

LI: to identify the structure and language features of a persuasive text.

This week for writing we learnt about expositions (a persuasive text). We also learned the structure and language features of an exposition. The language features of a exposition is O.R.E.O. I really like the structure because I think that oreo's are really tasty.

We also learned about the language features of a exposition. The language features of an exposition is emotive words, affect or causing words and simple present (infinitive tense) words. Emotive words: words that make people feel emotions. Affect or causing words: Words that affect people or cause people to do this or affect people. Simple present (infinitive tense) words: These are words that are not used in the past or in the future, its put in the present.

Also the acronym O.R.E.O stands for opinion, reasons, explanations and opinion again to support the first opinion. If you want to persuade someone to agree with your opinion use an exposition. We also went onto the google document that Mr Wong sent us, there is a exposition and we had to highlight affect or causing words, emotive words and simple present (infinitive tense) words in different colors, we had to highlight affect or causing words in blue, we had to highlight emotive words in red and we had to highlight simple present (infinitive tense) words in yellow. There is also a spot to copy and paste the exposition.

Today I learned by listening to the instructions, working hard and by being focused on my work. We also learned by going onto the google document.
