Task: Please write a paragraph - eight-ten lines or so - to persuade your Mum or Dad to let you go to bed an hour later. Don't forget to combine our persuasive techniques: facts, the rule of three and rhetorical questions. Finished? Check over your work and then annotate it using a gel pen, showing me where you have used the different rhetorical techniques.
