After completing some fantastic narratives that created tension and suspense, we have now started to look at creating a promotional piece of writing. The children will be trying to persuade people to buy their ‘Chatbot Game’ that they have been making in our computing topic.
The purpose of a promotional text is ‘to persuade/sell/promote a product’.
We started by looking at different promotional texts; the children highlighted and annotated them to find the R2s.
Help at home: Find the R2s in the text.
