reader of our opinion.

plan to you. The first part of my hamburger plan for a
persuasive text is my introduction. We know that
introductions tell the reader what our writing is going to be
about and who is going to be persuading the reader. This
extends a little broader than the title.”
“My introduction of the hamburger says, ‘Who is persuading?
Hmmmm I know that I am the author in modelling persuasive
writing today, so I am the person persuading my audience ‘all What makes
of you my superstars’. So I need to write ‘I’ next to who is dogs better than

can I persuade my audience that dogs are better?”

spelt that word correctly, but that is okay I know good writers

them at the end of their draft writing.” (taken from the writers

“And my last paragraph my main point will be. Hmmm, oh
dogs are very protective so I am going to put ‘dogs protect
your home.’”
Why are dogs
“Now after we have thought of 3 main points we then have to better company?
elaborate and or explain our main points to convince our
reader that dogs are better pets than cats. On our hamburger
there are 2 dot points. This is where we need to write 2
examples to explain each main point. For my first main point
‘dogs are good for fitness’. I know that when you have a dog,
they are very energetic so they need walking daily. So I am
going to write for my first dot point, ‘dogs promote health and
fitness as daily walking is achieeved. I don’t know if I have
spelt achieeved correctly but that is okay, I know that I
underline it with red and then at the end I can come back to it.
For my second example I know that dogs are very playful, so I What makes

afectionet animals as they shadow their owners. I am not sure
if I have spelt afectionet properly, so I am going to underline it
so that I can come back when I have finished writing. I know
that dogs feel our emotions so for my second dot point I am
going to write that dogs provide us with a sense of emotional
wellbeing with the love they give.” (The teacher will continue
to sound talk the sentence when writing).

“My third main point is that dogs protect your home. So I am


going to use some descriptive language here and write that
dogs bark and growl to alurt their owners to the presence of
strangers. I am not sure if I have spelt alurt correctly so I am
going to underline it so that I can come back when I have
completed my draft writing. And for the final dot point I am
going to write that dogs sense their owners feer and respond if
they think we feel thretened. I am not sure if I have spelt feer
or thretened correctly, so I will underline them both.”

“And then I need to conclude/ summarise my argument so I


can convince the reader that I think dogs are the better pet. So
I am going to write here that dogs are the better pet to own. I
am going to end my writing convincing the reader that dogs
are better than cats. “

“After we have finished writing our draft, we know that good


writers go back and edit their work. Using my editing fan, I
am going to go back over my draft and fix any mistakes.”
“This is where we use our success criteria to help us”
- Independently write a draft hamburger model on why
dogs/cats are the better pet.
- Use descriptive language to convince the reader.
- Re-read my sentence to make sure it makes sense,
capital letter at the start of my sentence and a full
stop at the end.

The teacher will read aloud the editing steps to model the
process. “The first part of editing is to underline my not so
sure words. I have already done that while I was writing so I
don’t need to go back and do that. I can move onto the next
editing stage of my fan. (Teacher turns the fan to the next
editing stage). “Put spaces between words.” Teacher checks
by raising her finger to the paper to check for finger spaces.
“Check that my writing make sense. Well in today’s lesson
that was one of our selection criteria’s, to re-read my writing
to make sure it makes sense.” (The teacher will point to the
selection criteria when reading aloud).” Use full stops and
capital letters. That was another focus for our writing in
today’s lesson so I know that I have done that already.”

Conclusion:
To conclude the lesson, the teacher will recap the structure of
persuasive writing once again to allow students to become
familiar with each part, so that they feel confident in
completing their own independently with teacher assistance
where necessary.

The teacher will provide students with a template hamburger


model from ‘The Writing Book’ on page 225 to have a go at
completing their own. The teacher will keep the same topic for
the students to write their own plan on. The topic being dogs
are better pets the cats or vice versa. Students will only have
to write 2 main points and only 1 elaboration for each one.

Rationale

This unit of lessons is designed to allow students to become aware and confident with the text type of persuasive writing as well as the process of writing to persuade the

audience. Students will look at the different types of persuasive text forms to have the opportunity to become familiar with the intentions. This I have chosen to be placed at

the very start of the lesson to broaden students understanding and set the skills of language features as such. Throughout the lessons, there is opportunities for partner work,

small group work, in which I have planned to support learner’s diversity/ difficulties to be reinforced through ongoing peer sustenance. I have incorporated such pedagogical
understandings to support the act of teaching intentions. By this, I have chosen to model, and engage students through hands on activities, so that they are able to express their

ideas individually and use their peers to discuss the writing processes, to broaden their understanding on chosen topics or the text type as a whole. Within this also, I have

included spelling and grammar activities later on for students to improve in areas needed.

To create my lessons, I followed the gradual release model (DRRM) to provide the best pedagogical and learning opportunities for students to succeed. I have laid out my

lessons accordingly so students become confident in what persuasive writing includes and the specific language features used. The structure of my lessons have been

structured to support the process. For example, for ‘familiarising’, I have chosen activities that allows students to become aware of what persuasive texts look like in context.

‘Analysing’, so students can become familiar by using hands on activities to examine the features. ‘Modelled/shared’. So that students are aware of what the planning

processes involve and what the layout entails. ‘Shared/guided’, so students can collaborate with their peers to work together to think of main points that enhance the argument

of such topic. ‘Modelled/ Independent’, so students can become confident in planning their own hamburger model to be able to progress their understandings. And ‘apply’,

students are able to use all their learning, knowledge and understandings, to write their own persuasive writing passage.

Throughout my lessons I have chosen to allow students to present their knowledge to the class to broaden their confidence, speaking in front of their peers, and improving

their oral language, eye contact and body language.

For assessment, I have chosen strategies and content to assess to cater for fairness, to make sure that it is purposeful and valid, by linking it to content that has been taught

instead of anything new. As well as the types of assessment strategies that I have chosen, all relate to the topics, and are a good source for the teacher to be able to observe the

students’ progression throughout the content taught and to be able to use it for informative reporting aspects as well as self-evaluating processes.
