Task – Analysis of verse

Each pair will get a verse, and identify the different techniques that the song uses to persuade you!

Challenge – think about the effect it has on the listener. Why has Bruno Mars used

these words?

Verse 1

Oh, her eyes, her eyesMake the stars look like they're not shining

Her hair, her hairFalls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautifulAnd I tell her everyday

Yeah

Verse 2

I know, I knowWhen I compliment her she won't believe me

And it's so, it's soSad to think that she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me, "Do I look okay?"I say,

Verse 3

Oh you know, you know, you knowI'd never ask you to change

If perfect's what you're searching forThen just stay the same

So don't even bother asking if you look okayYou know I'll say,

Verse 4 (Chorus)

When I see your face (face, face...)There's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing (amazing)Just the way you are (are)

And when you smile (smile, smile...)The whole world stops and stares for a while

'Cause, girl, you're amazing (amazing)Just the way you are (are)

Task 2 – Carousel writing!

Everyone will write a verse, persuading that the listener are the amazing just the way they are

The whole table will help write your verse; as there is 6 people on one table, the tables with less than 6 people may have to go twice

You will have one minute to write a sentence, and you have to include some of these techniques

After one minute, you will pass your piece of paper to your right (clockwise), and they will write your second line, until all the verses have 6 sentences.

READ YOUR VERSE

Read your verse to your table and choose one verse to read the verse aloud to the class.

I will decide the best verse, who will all receive a +1 point and a snack!

During the verse…

On your post-it note, write down the technique and an example that you thought was really persuasive

This is testing to see whether you are listening, but also whether you know the techniques!

Homework

Analyse the verse on your sheet using the FEARRR techniques, and also other techniques that you have learnt today

Using your carousel writing, rewrite your own verse which includes all these techniques
