How many of you remember 'Vote for Me' from year 8? Coming back to you now that it is election time? All those skills that you learned then are still very relevant and useful for paper one--not only so that you can pick apart and analyse the ways that people are trying to persuade you, but so that you can imitate them in your onw persuasive writing.
Really good revision would be to keep all the leaflets that will come through your doors in the nest few weeks, and start to analyse them, working out the persuasive strategies each party uses. Whose is the most effective? Does the subtle use of persuasion actually bypass the critical faculties, or are you now so media-aware that you are not lured in?
