Key Questions
Can I choose language to persuade my reader to my point of
view?
Can I identify when bias has been used or opinion has been
disguised as fact?

py.htm
As a group make 2 spidergrams – 1 to show the
benefits of keeping lizards and 1 to show the
disadvantages.
Tell the children that they are going to be split into
2 groups – half will persuade the class to buy a
lizard by comparing it with a dog and half will do
the opposite.
Talk about what the children will include in their
infomercial and what they will miss out. Remind
them that bias isn’t lying!
Children begin to plan their
infomercial for whichever
group they are in.
Look at organising it into
sections using a writing
frame
