Persuasive writing worksheet
This helpful resource is a series of persuasive language thinking, discussion and writing activities that support students in KS3 or KS4 to develop their persuasive writing skills.
Students can work through each of the tasks in order to improve their writing process and build confidence in their ability to utilise persuasive techniques effectively.
There is a series of accessible tasks and teaching resources focusing on different persuasive techniques, such as alliteration and exaggeration.
The activities prompt students to imagine real-life scenarios using each of six methods. Once they have completed these, there is a writing task to help learners develop their persuasive writing techniques independently through writing from a point of view.
This is an ideal resource for introducing persuasive writing, revisiting it with students for revision purposes or to boost their understanding of persuasive language use.
