A fun oral activity for students to revise persuasive techniques. With half the class sitting and the other half moving, it's a dynamic and memorable way for students to find out about the specific effects of each language device.

Each student assumes the role of a persuasive technique and asks questions of their partner. They swap, then move on. Once everyone has a finished sheet, the dates are over and students find out if they identified the techniques correctly.

The resource includes a task sheet for a range of persuasive terms. There are a couple of blank cards at the end to add your choice.

This flexible resource could instead be used to revise characters from any text, literary terms or a selection of key vocabulary.

This activity worked brilliantly with my Year 11s during revision for their English Language Writing Paper. It can also be adapted for use with Literature revision of themes and characters!
