This term for Reading/Writing we have been looking at persuasive writing. We looked at adverts and infomercials, my favorite infomercial was a popcorn bowl. I liked that it started off black and white showing the bad side, but then it bursts into color for when they showed the product, and I liked that they used lots of repetition. For our persuasive writing, we had to choose from: Why families should spend more time together, Palm oil plantation needs to be stopped, Toroa students should be able to wear caps instead of bucket hats. I chose why families should spend more time together. Here is my persuasive writing:
Why families should spend more time together
Hey you, Yes you, When was the last time you spent time with your family, you’ve probably been watching T.V or on your device I'm guessing, Well when time passes it will get really awkward around family and you won’t be talking as much, So that’s why I think that families should spend more time together!
Spending time with family builds good relationships with each other. Having a good relationship with parents, help children to feel more secure and you get to know each other better.
To communicate with family you have to spend time with them. Spending time with family will develop healthy relationships, and if something happens they/ you will feel comfortable to talk about it. It will also help with Happiness as kids won’t feel hurt or upset.
Spending time together also develops positive behaviors at school and at home. Parents can give motivation and support kids in their learning. And spending time together helps a growth mindset and to talk about stuff at school so kids don’t feel alone
A way to spend time with family is to get out of the house and go somewhere, to the movie, the zoo or go on holiday, but people might not have much money or are saving it up well there are lots of other places to go like the museum, the beach or just stay home and play a game..
Spending time with Family is an important thing in life and teaches you how to be a good parent and means you will want to share your life with your parents and siblings when you're older. So now... What are your plans for the weekend?
Do you spend enough time with your family?
