Although aimed primarily at 7-11 year olds, most activities in this very practical book can be adapted for younger children. Activities range from designing a banknote and painting glass jars to printing on fabric and creating 3D robots

Brilliant Activities for Persuasive Writing provides Key Stage 2 teachers with activities to help pupils to focus on persuasive language and to stimulate persuasive writing. All the activities are compatible with the National Literacy Strategy. Activities range from writing advertisements and job descriptions to looking at two-sided arguments and debates. The book is divided into four sections, one for each year of Key Stage 2. Lesson plans are accompanied by photocopiable texts and worksheets. Most of the activities allow for differentiation by outcome and so may be used with the whole class. Differentiated sheets are included where necessary so that children of lower ability have more guidance or less to do in quantity. Extension activities are given to challenge the more able, and follow-on activities enable teachers to extend the work further.
