Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students will explore the experiences of marquee players in the AFLW competition and consider the value of staying true to their personal goals and ambitions. This will then act as a prompt for students to develop their own persuasive writing pieces, in which they incorporate persuasive techniques in a letter persuading their reader of the value of pursuing their goals.
This lesson is designed to provide practise for NAPLAN, the national literacy and numeracy test held in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9*.
