Students read an opinion article, based on a children's tv show, and identify the persuasive techniques used. They are then asked to work in groups and highlight the examples, looking out for writing techniques and a particular tone or style. 

Following this, they are asked to design a 'top tips' poster and write an opening paragraph using a selection of persuasive techniques they've explored throughout the lesson.
