AS Language Opinion Articles Task

Hi everyone,

Today we looked at two different opinion articles written about the same topic - the refugee crisis.

We looked at the similarities between the two articles and the shared techniques. In Thursday's lesson, you will be starting to develop your own opinion piece on a topic related to language so the techniques you identified are crucial for getting the structure right - well done for your thorough identification of these techniques.

For your homework I would like you to complete the second task we started in class which was to forget about shared techniques and identify the differences between the two. This is very difficult as they are so similar, but it will improve your eye and ability to identify more subtle techniques which is a crucial analytical skill in language.

Your task is to write 2 fully formed PEE analytical paragraphs about the differences you have found and post these to your blogs. Again, this is a difficult task but try to dig a little deeper and notice the subtle variations in language use.

Please post your paragraphs by the end of Thursday so I can look at them over the weekend.

Claudia
