Well done for the last two lessons. It's imperative that we understand the conventions and purpose of the writing.
Your homework, due Friday, is to write two of the most amazingly fantastic paragraphs you've ever written. You need to:
- Consider the genre, purpose (so use a range of rhetorical devices to persuade the reader).
- Use links between the paragraphs (and consider how you could make links to show whole text cohesion)
- Use discourse markers (click here for some examples)
- Use a range of sentence structures that are crafted for effect
Remember how Carole Malone crafted the sentences, using repetition and rule of three to add to the impact of her sentences? Use that!
If you missed the lesson we looked in detail at how Carole Malone uses language, particulary rhetoric, in an article about Jade Goody before she died. I've uploaded this article to my Google account, but I'm having trouble inserting it into this blog. (I know you're as excited about this new feature as I am!) If you did miss the lesson, check the blog again tomorrow and it will have th earticle for you to look at.
See you next week
Ms Caldwell
