  2. Writing persuasive text Section One Objectives: Reading: To recognise when text is fitfor purpose Writing: To identify the different purposes of text and To understand how the purpose of text affects content and use of language Task: Create a persuasive leaflet

  3. Identify different types of persuasive text. Write a short phrase

  4. When you write, you need to ask yourself these questions. “Who am I writing to? Who is going to read it?” “Why am I writing? What is my aim?” Clueless! This is YOUR PURPOSE This is YOUR AUDIENCE

  5. Purpose The assessment question will always state what the purpose of the piece of writing is, for example: Write a leaflet for teenagers in which you persuade them the benefits of not smoking. Write a leaflet for parents in which you persuade them about the benefits of school meals for their children. The purpose is key to your writing. It is essential that your final piece of writing suits its purpose from beginning to end.

  6. Audience Let’s look at the features of different types of persuasive writing… Before you begin any piece of writing you should consider the audience you are writing for.

  7. Can you identify the type of audience the following images are aimed or targeted?

  8. What’s the point ..? Persuasive texts are designed to persuade people or to convince people of a point of view. Good persuasive texts tempt the reader. Where to start ..?

Use complex sentences linked with connectives that explain your views: however, therefore, because, although, yet etc. Did you know ..? Ask rhetorical questions, eg‘...Bet you didn’t know that ..!’ It’s a known fact ..! Try to make opinions sound like fact, ‘We all know that it’s the best thing since ...’ End it ...! Conclude by summarising your key points. Get the real deal! Beware of imitations!
