Assembly 

In writing this term, the grade 4K students have been learning how to persuade. We brainstormed our own ideas and discussed what we were passionate about. Everyone is different and we all have our own ideas and opinions… and that’s ok. 

We have been using the mentor text ‘I Wanna Iguana’ by Karen Kaufman Orloff to discuss author techniques and persuasive language devices such as strong emotive words (e.g. sensitive, compassionate, grossed-out), thinking and feeling verbs (e.g. believe, know, have, must), connective phrases (e.g. ‘In addition’) and cause and effect phrases (e.g. ‘As a result…’). 

First, we created persuasive speeches which included repetition, questions and facts to back up our arguments. 

Next, we thought about how pictures and short slogans can also help to persuade our audiences… so we hope you like our posters too! 

Finally, we practised our presentations and talked about how to entertain and captivate our audience (our school and community at assembly last Friday). 

Have a great day and we hope you like our work… we are very proud of it!
