Students were placed into groups and finished analyzing Barack Obama's speech, identifying the persuasive techniques used and the diferent voters targetted in the separate sections.
Once this was completed, TP8 was introduced to the basics of narrative writing. Students who missed this class should go through the narrative writing section of the course book. Please remember the optional narrative writing homework assignment. This is outlined in your course book and is due on the 31st of March.
