Lesson Summary
Retired AFL star Adam Goodes is known to many for his resilient journey in the face of detrimental treatment by AFL spectators and the media beginning in 2013.
In this lesson, students will examine the use and power of emotive language to persuade others. They will firstly connect language to emotive responses through drama. Then they will examine the use of emotive language to praise and criticise Adam Goodes’ contribution to AFL. In a collaborative activity designed to test students’ writing abilities, they will aim to write using only facts or only emotive language to persuade an audience. This will enhance their final reflection on the role of emotive language in a persuasive text.
