Abstract

Students in years 3 and 4 learn about persuasive writing and how to use persuasive techniques to support their opinions. They use a rubric to write with and then participate in peer review and the publication process. They then respond to a narrative text to analyse the similarities and differences between persuasive and narrative writing and develop their understanding of genre. They analyse the narrative mentor text and learn about narrative techniques, write a narrative and complete the peer review and publication process again.
