Grade 2 Writing News
This term in grade 2 we have been learning how to write persuasively. The students have written about a different topic each week and have been very eager to share their writing. We began with the kids just coming up with opinions and reasons for their opinion on a topic, but this proved a bit too easy for most of the kids, so we are now learning how to use persuasive techniques such as high modality verbs, rhetorical questions and emotive language! We have some very skilled persuasive writers in grade two, maybe there is a lawyer or two amongst them!
Please enjoy some writing from Finn, Ivy, Charlize, Alba, Alex, Meher and Kalya (in no particular order) on the topics: All children should learn to swim, and Parks Victoria should fence off the Kick Off.
