  1. Year 12 ESL OUTCOME 3: USING LAGUAGE TO PERSUADE

  2. WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? • You need to make connections between the language of the writer and the effect of the language on readers. • Why might this be an important skill? • Is is even more important for people who speak English as a second language? Why/ why not?

  3. WHEN AND HOW WILL YOU DO THIS? 1.Note form summary 2. Explanation of how language and visuals have been used to persuade about 3 of the main points in the summary • (Task material approx. 350 words + visuals) • 27 minutes/27 minutes • 30% exam

  4. HOW CAN YOU GET BETTER AT IT? 1. NOTE FORM SUMMARIES First you need to understand the criteria Marking scheme: 5 marks= 5 main points 3 marks= clarity and conciseness 2 marks= NFS conventions

  5. MAIN POINTS • WHAT IS A ‘MAIN POINT’? • HOW DO YOU FIND THEM?

  6. CLARITY • Clearness of perception or understanding

  7. CONSISENESS Covering a lot in few words; brief but comprehensive in ideas Synonym: succinct.

  8. NFS conventions • Symbols • Don’t use full sentences • Look for connections (but not too many) • Highlight the main 5 points and the overall recommendation (see slide 5)

  9. NFS • Why do you need to do this? • To examine/summarise WHAT has been written

  10. ESSAY/EXPLANATION • 3 PARAGRAPHS • WHATS THE POINT OF THEM? To make connections between the language of the writer and the effect of the language on readers. In other words: to examine HOW and WHY the article/webpage/editorial etc has been written

  11. HOW CAN YOU GET BETTER AT IT? 1. MEMORISE THE STRUCTURE “ATEETEE” ARGUMENT TECHNIQUE 1 EXAMPLE EFFECT TECHNIQUE 2 EXAMPLE EFFECT

  12. ARGUMENT What is the argument? • One of the MAIN POINTS from the article. You should choose 3 of the 5 points you identified in your NFS • How do you know which 3 to choose?

  13. TECHNIQUE WHAT IS A ‘TECHNIQUE’? This is the HOW part. HOW does the writer try to convince us? What methods are used? Examples: • Tone • Emotive language • Attacks • Hyperbole • Appeals • Inclusive language • Anecdotes • Statistics • Expert evidence • Rhetorical questions • Listing • Repetition • Alliteration • Visual evidence

  14. EXAMPLE • EXAMPLE- describe the technique. Give the actual words or a description of the technique. • When would you not be able to give the exact words of the example?

  15. EFFECT • EFFECT- what is the probable effect on readers? What would probably be the result of this article? • This is the hardest part of your paragraphs. You need to think abut WHY the writer has written the article. What is the purpose of it? What is the effect s/he wants to have on the audience?

  16. WHAT NEXT? • LEARN: • Techniques • Probable effects • PRACTICE!
