What is persuasive writing?
• When you want to persuade
(convince) the reader to believe or
do something
Examples
• Adverts
• Letters
• Posters

Can you think of a
• Brochures
time when you
were persuaded to

something?
Persuasive Techniques… • Flattery • Strong openers telling the reader what the issue is and why it is important • Powerful, persuasive language • Alliteration • Rhetorical questions • Address the reader directly • Exaggeration • Humour • Repetition
Flattery This is when you convince your audience to agree with you by making them feel clever or sensible in their views if they agree with you. Can you think of a time you’ve used flattery to get your own way?
Alliteration This is when you use a sequence of words with the same initial letter or sound e.g. a truly tasty treat. It can be very effective in trying to persuade. Summertime sunshine… Soft, silky sand… Waves washing…
Rhetorical Questions This is a question you ask the audience to get them thinking, but don’t expect an answer. Are you dreaming of sandy beaches and warm waves?
Exaggeration When you exaggerate, you make things seem better, worse, greater etc. than they actually are. All you can eat buffets… enough to feed an army!
Repetition Repeating words or sentences to convince the listener / reader that you are correct and your point of view is the only one that can be right. You deserve a break, you deserve a treat, you deserve the best. Book with us now.

Today’s Task
• You will be reading a short description of situation a famous Disney character
has found themselves in. Their situation is a problem, and we want to
persuade the reader of our letter to change their mind and help them. The
Emeralds will be writing about Nemo. The Dahl’s and Morpurgo’s have the
choice between Robin Hood or Cinderella.
• Your task is to write a persuasive letter, providing a clear and logical argument
about why this character’s situation is a problem. You need to make sure you
use persuasive language and techniques in order to convince them.
If you have some lined paper, write your letter on that. If not, a page in your jotter is fine. I would love
to see these when we’re back at school so please keep them safe and bring them in.
Use the word bank to help you J.Your tasks are on Teams. Please make sure you access the correct page for your group. Good luck! I will hear some of the letters during our live check in.
