SecondaryYear 7 - 8EnglishPersuasive writingSocialEquality
Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students will watch and analyse a number of clips that showcase the introduction of the AFL Women’s competition and the impact it has had in Australian society. Students will dig deeper into the concept of rhetorical devices and how they work to influence an audience. They will then put it all together to write a persuasive speech to convince their audience of the value of change in society, using AFLW as their key example.
This lesson is designed to provide practise for NAPLAN, the national literacy and numeracy test held in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9*. It focuses on persuasive devices and vocabulary and explores the use of rhetorical devices to persuade an audience.
