Persuasive Writing

Monday – look at a model text (women’s football) and create a tool kit for the features of persuasive writing. Look at the checklist provided to help you.

Tuesday – look at examples of formal letter writing. What are the features of formal letter writing? Read through the information.

Wednesday – plan a persuasive letter about a topic linked to school. It could be about persuading Mr Dale to give you longer breaks or to ban homework – the choice is yours! If you are stuck for ideas, imagine that a member of staff has suggested that breaktimes should be reduced in length to make up for lost learning time during lockdown. How could you persuade Mr Dale that this is or is not the answer?

Thursday and Friday – write your letter of persuasion.

If you finish before Friday, you could write a persuasive letter of your choice.
