How does the author attempt to persuade the reader?

Task

First, read the persuasion texts. There will be 6 of them to read. After you have read one, record its purpose in your books. Think about what the author is trying to persuade the reader to do.

The text could have different structures. As you read, think carefully about why the text is structured in this way.

What it should look like in your book

If you are at home, complete the task in your blended learning book.
