English: IK the features of a persuasive advert

We have looked at persuasion many times in Key Stage 2. Today we are going to recap the features of a persuasive advert. Adverts are designed to make us think, do or buy something and they use a variety of devices to do this.

Firstly, have a look through the powerpoint I have attached to remind yourself of some of the features.

Next I have attached a text advertising a hotel.Read carefully through it then answer the questions that come after it. There are two levels of challenge in the questions, 1 star and 3 stars; make sure you choose the text that will stretch your learning.

Topic: Today I would like you to research the dietary needs of astronauts and find out about what they eat.

I would then like you to create a series of menus for an astronaut. You can create a menu for a day or even a week. You will need to think out what you have learned and balance an astronauts dietary needs with what kind of fod could be taken into space; for example keeping food fresh and the weight of the food.
