Menurut pendapat saya: In my opinion
This learning object is looking at the different
points of view and needs of people in Indonesia about land use and the
saving of the orangutan.
Tell students that they are going to
choose the role
of one of the four people interviewed in Penyelamatan binatang (the
Batak farmer, the businessman, the park ranger and the environmentalist)
and write a short persuasive piece stating that person's opinion about
these issues.
NB: This is an ideal opportunity for the
Indonesian teacher to collaborate with the English teacher to introduce
point of view and persuasive writing to students - in both subject
areas.
Briefly discuss the key features of persuasive opinion
writing:
-
strong
language
-
appealing to
the emotions of the listeners
-
repetition of
your main points
-
simple
'slogans' to get your message across
Remind students that they can use the answers that
character gives in the interview to help them. You may choose to give
them that section of the script (in
Word
or PDF).
You may also like to present a model of
this writing, identifying and discussing the features listed above. See Menurut
Petani Batak
(in Word or
PDF).
