Lesson video

Today, we're going to use the boxing method to organise a persuasive piece.

No, not that boxing, Yakub.

In this lesson, you will need an exercise book or paper, a pencil, and of course, your brain.

You can pause the video now while you go and get those items. We are going to start today's lesson by singing a nursery rhyme.

Then, we'll play a game and we'll finish with a writing task.

I hope you're ready.

We're going to sing another nursery rhyme about counting.

If you were in lesson five, we sang one, two, three, four, five, but today we are going to sing a nursery rhyme about the number 10.

I wonder if you know what it is.

It's "10 In The Bed".

We're going to play a word game called silly sentences.

I'm going to think of a letter.

Then I'm going to think of lots of words that start with that letter.

I'm going to put them all together and make a silly sentence.

So my letter is going to be P.

Pot.

Pan.

Proper.

Pee.

Peel.

I'm going to try and put them together with not very many other words into a sentence.

The Pan, peeled the pee pot, The pan peeled the pee pot.

That's a very silly sentence.

Can you try with a different letter? How about the letter F that makes a f sound.

Can you make a silly sentence using the f sound? When are you going to box up our text.

We're going to use our text map to remind us.

Don't worry if you weren't in my earlier lessons, my text map is on the screen or in the downloadable resources.

There's also a boxing up template for you to use when it's your turn.

But first, let's do it together.

There are, one, two, three, four, five boxes in my template.

The first one is the introduction.

How did our text start? Our text started by asking a question.

Have you ever been hungry? Of course we have.

And then it introduced, the product.

So I told you how much you were going to love my gingerbread.

And I described what gingerbread was very briefly, by saying, you may have heard of the gingerbread man.

And that's how we introduced our texts.

So that's how we told everybody that our text was going to be about buying gingerbread.

The next box is the description, and this is the part that came next.

We can look at our picture.

Can you remember what was happening here? That's right.

I was telling you what's in the gingerbread.

So there's flour and butter, some wobbly butter and sugar and ginger, and, of course, an egg and lots of love and care.

So that was our description in our persuasive piece.

So that was our description in our persuasive piece.

The next section is the exaggeration.

That's when you say something that isn't 100% true, you're exaggerating or making it bigger and better.

And I said that it would cost 500 pounds, silly Mr. Hottie.

And that it's the best gingerbread in the world.

Do I know it's the best gingerbread in the world? No, of course not because who has tasted all the gingerbread in the world, but that's okay.

We're just exaggerating.

Then, we moved on to give up the purpose.

So we started to think about why somebody might want to buy our gingerbread.

And there were lots of reasons.

It might be because they were lonely and they might want a gingerbread friend, or if they didn't want a human friend, perhaps they would want an alien friend.

That was one of the options as well, wasn't it? If they weren't animal lover, we were going to make them a, let me look closely.

Ah, yes.

A zebra.

Now I found drawing a zebra last time tricky as well.

Do you remember? Or we could build a house.

And the conclusion, how we finished, was to say that our gingerbread was going to be so yummy in somebody's tummy.

We said it was going to be so yummy in your tummy.

Won't you buy my gingerbread? Who will buy my gingerbread? And that's how we box up the text.

We think about how it starts, we describe it, we exaggerate a little bit, we say why they might want it, and then we finish it off altogether with our conclusion.

Now, it's your turn to box up the text.

If you were in my previous lessons, you'll have your own text map.

If not, that's okay, you can use mine, which is in the downloadable resources or on the screen.

Pause the video now to complete your task.

Remember our game earlier, what was your silly sentence? How about, five fast frogs fasting? As in not eating? Or, four fortunate, fortune tellers fussing over fast food? Maybe you can challenge someone in your house to come up with silly sentences with another letter sound at the beginning of the sentence, and at the the beginning of lots of the words.

See you next time.

Bye, bye.
