I have no idea what to do for this assignment

So i have this english assignment due on Monday and im not sure what im doing.

Okay so i have to write a persuasive speech answering these questions. 1.Identify the concepts represented in both texts. 2.Discuss how effectively the composers have communicated their ideas through analysis of how meaning is conveyed. 3.Do these representations reflect your own perspective of representations of protest or self? Explain with reference to both texts.

I have to use a poem A Mix of Many Things by Alyssa Murray and a something else and im using this ā€œI wish I’d partied a little less. People always say ā€˜be true to yourself.’ But that’s misleading, because there are two selves. There’s your short term self, and there’s your long term self. And if you’re only true to your short term self, your long term self slowly decays.ā€ I need to analyse them both and answer the questions. I have asked my teacher, the people in my class and I still don't understand it.

Persuasive writing formats in GCSE Eng Lang paper 2

In the Eduqas GCSE - Paper 2 Writing section - there are 2 questions asking students to write persuasively - eg. in the form of a letter, article, report, review. I can't find a list of what these forms could be - does anyone have any idea if there could be other forms, apart from the ones above? Or if there is a definite list of what might come up? Thank you

How to write broadsheet articles


How do you go about writing a Broadsheet article?

A broadsheet article reports the facts and details of an event, without an author's opinion (as would be the case in a tabloid newspaper). In general, they are unbiased but this is often not the case in real newsprint. The idea is for the reader to form their own opinion based on the given information Before you start writing you need to think who your audience is and who the article is aimed at, use the who, what, where, when, why and how format in your opening then concentrate on the important information in the main section of the article The article should be written in complete sentences, using formal language, and be broken up in to sections to help the reader navigate the article. The article would usually be about something serious and newsworthy, including current affairs, rather than commenting on popular media and celebrities. Don’t forget to add a title, date, and author’s name to the article. The title should also be formal and to the point, avoiding puns or jokey headlines as in tabloids. The first thing when writing a newspaper article is to find some event worth reporting on. A newspaper article, as others have said, reports the facts and details of an event. Ā As you might expect, there is no rising action, falling action or climax – this is not a story, this is the fact. Begin with the most important, critical points of the article. For example, Yesterday night around 11 pm, a man, George Bluth, 41 was shot in front of Parker Square Mall. Ā Police responding to the scene of the shooting cordoned off a small area near the doors of the mall, and did not respond to questions. Mr. Bluth was taken to the St. Catherine’s Memorial Hospital, and is currently in stable condition. According to Mrs. Bluth, George was walking home from a night with friends, and the police say that he was attacked by several youths…You should progress through the story, and each paragraph should contain less important facts than the paragraph before. As many others have said, you should use formal language as I have above. Ā Instead of ā€œI asked the policeā€¦ā€, you should write ā€œpolice reported thatā€¦ā€ and so on.

Below is the structure and features of a broadsheet article:

Content

Emphasis on important global/national news, political, economic, social and cultural issues. Covers politics, finance, and current affairs. Often has a sports supplement.

Appearance

Few photographs, A2 size, black/white. Frontpage should be more informative, about public issues. The design emphasizes content through detailed articles in small print, with some emphasis on photographs and restrained use of color.  

Headline

It should be informative, factual, serious language, black/white.  

Article

Formal language, highly researched, factual details, neutral and unbiased, small print. Varied types of sentences. Emphasis on the information.

How do I start writing a letter about myself to my teacher?


How to write a letter about yourself

At the beginning of the school year, your new teacher may ask you to write a letter about yourself. A lot of students find it hard to write about themselves and are not sure what to include in this type of assignment. The best place to start would be to decide what you want to say first. The letter should reflect yourself as much as possible. What are your interests? Favourite subject? Pets, family? Stuff like that. Try not to jump around too much between ideas in the letter, so before you write it, find a piece of scrap paper and write down a plan of everything you want to include. Begin by introducing yourself, try to be original here – eg is there something striking about you – born on Christmas Day? Ā I’d suggest that you could start by giving your name and then giving that ā€˜interesting fact’ about yourself – to get the teacher’s attention! I bet then yours would be one of the first names the teacher would learn! After that, I’d go into paragraphs, dealing with – say – family, hobbies, favourite subjects at school etc.…..
