Yesterday, we found out that Shackleton needed to buy his ship for his expedition and your task was to begin to create a leaflet to encourage him to buy the ‘Polaris’. If you haven’t read yesterday’s daily blog yet, do so now.
Task today:
As you continue your leaflets today, can you use persuasive language to encourage Ernest to buy the ship?
Read carefully the following double page spread from Shackleton’s journey and any words in bold you are unsure of check out the glossary in the second image. You’ll need to create a pamphlet/sales leaflet this week to give to Shackleton to convince him to buy your boat! You’ll have two days to complete this! You’ll need to use a mixture of facts from the image below and your own opinion. E.g. “The bow is 1.3metres thick which is especially strong (fact) and will surely smash through any ice that gets in its way (opinion because it isn’t proven yet).
Feel free to add diagrams to your leaflet and fold it into different styles:

He listened. Outside the wind was howling. After a moment he closed his eyes again. “It must have been the wind,” he said to himself. “Only the wind.” But no sooner had he closed her eyes than he seemed to hear the voice again. He got up, knelt by the hole, and stuck his head out.
