Persuasive Writing

1. I am going to put your awesome walkie talkie ad on the TV because then the kids will be asking their parents to buy them. I will put it on now because it is close to Christmas. The internet is not safe enough and not everyone has a device. Most people have a TV.  TV is safer because the internet has virus’s.

2. Firstly, there can be inappropriate ads on the internet especially for little kids. Thats because internet has NO rules. The TV has ads for all suitable ages and has lots of rules. If you choose internet they could make the ad really bad with a virus or even make it inappropriate for little kids.

3. Secondly, if you advertise on the TV you can fit in a time slot for after or before school and before sport on the weekend, which means kids will be watching their everyday programmes. This means they  can ask or even plead for their parents to buy your product. Also, on at the times when there are adult program’s on we will advertise so they can buy them when they see your awesome ad.

4. Finally, if you have chosen the TV brilliant idea, because nobody like’s ads on the internet. But since your ad will be so awesome everybody will be rushing in to buy your brand new and spectacular walkie talkie. After they have bought it they will be talking to all their friends about their brand new item. This is the fairer and safer way.

Hugh's Speech

This is my speech about persuasive writing

Vagabond Tomato reading

I'm a juicy red tomato
and I've tumbled off the shelf
and I'm rolling out the co-op door
to the street, all by myself.
I've left the other fruit behind            5
but I feel no remorse.
There's more to life than waiting
to be blended into sauce
or chopped up for a pizza
or sliced to serve with ham                 10
or just sitting, going mouldy
fifty cents a kilogram.

No, no! Heigh ho for the open road
and the footpath, wild and free!
Where feet pass by                              15
'neath an open sky
and there are no other vegies but me!
You won't catch me in your casserole
or your pyrex baking dish.
I'm the vagabond tomato and I'm...    20

Minions Writing

“ Right minions line up,” said Hugh the Professor, as the leader opens the door and marches in.  I stand as still as I can with my spear facing upwards.  The retard minion Dave started laughing because he through a stone at Greg’s head and Greg started crying. I [Bob] dropped my spear and jumped on dave and then a huge minion fight started, everyone was jumping on Dave and Greg was still crying. When Dave apologise he got told off and sent to his room. “ Ba do” Dave said as he slumped around the corner onto his bed and started using bad, bad words.  When dave came out of his room with professor Hugh, Gregg through a water bomb and Dave. Greg and Dave started to argue “get out of it Greg,” Dave started.

“ You  idiot,” Greg screamed back. They kept on fighting until professor split up Greg and Dave.

Weeks past as more and more things happened. One day when everything was normal. Professor's old group who were bad, told professor they were coming for us. But what they didn’t know is that who he worked for is us. Two hours later professor got an email from team rhino to say they are about to raid. When we were getting ready, the leader heard helicopters flying over our humongous house he immediately sent us in the duplicator to have 244 minions.  We got handed a pistol gun each and all lined up outside.  When the leader and professor came out of the door I was a guard again with my gun in my left hand and my spear in my right hand. As the helicopter got closer I got more scared. We started walking down the street into the park where the helicopter had landed. People with weird alien mask’s came out of the out of the crazy shaped ship. I wondered to myself maybe that’s why Hugh always looks so weird and like an alien.  

Professor and the aliens shook hands to re met each other. Of cause the aliens did not remember professor because they were aliens and aliens don’t remember much.  Dave opened the door somehow because he was so small I didn’t think he would reach but he came running from the house with a pistol and started shooting the aliens. Thats when bullet came flying at me “ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,” I screamed.

To be continued!!!
