About Course

Learn to write persuasively with Ziggy. You will discover the three classic appeals (ethos, pathos and logos), build a toolkit of persuasive techniques, plan and structure letters, speeches and articles, and edit your writing so it convinces your audience. It supports the Key Stage 3 English national curriculum, which asks pupils to write arguments and to draw on “literary and rhetorical devices” to enhance the impact of their writing.
