Writing Self Editing Tool

Persuasive and Narrative WritingCriteria Skill How It Is Done

1. Audience

1.1. Talk to your reader

You might think this is weird, but I think about what teachers were like when they went to school.

What is the “Big Bang Theory” anyway?

1.2. Make the reader feel sorry for your character

Harry lived under the stairs with his beastly relations.

Poor Meg (Family Guy-do you remember the episode where she goes to the prom with the family dog? ) or ‘Butters’ (South Park-his parents are so mean to him and he is so cute! )

1.3. Ask your reader a question

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be invisible?

2. Text Structure

2.1. Make a list (Persuasive)

In this essay I will discuss pollution:

1. In the city

2. In the ocean

3. In rural farming

4. Green-house gases

2.2. Tell events/put thoughts in order, to set the scene. Make it easy for the reader to follow you (Narrative)

It was a cold morning-icy cold like Antarctica. I was starting to panic. It was still dark which made it even worse. I could hear a noise getting closer. I reached for my light switch, feeling the wall as my hands trembled with fear. It was my worst nightmare!

2.3. Use some evidence

Did you know that 40% of the food that is produced is thrown away and never used? I read in the West Australian yesterday that supermarkets and restaurants are restricted by laws to give away their excess food or sell it cheap to charities.

2.4. ConcludeThe one key issue here is ‘pollution’ is everywhere and it is affecting the world.

2.5. PERSUASIVE Short and powerful!

These murderers should be locked up!

2.6. NARRATIVE

Leave them in suspense (if you run out of time)

OR

with a moral to the story.

There was no way the bandit could escape. He was hanging from the bridge by one hand when it started to shake and crack-pieces of concrete falling into the sea below.

OR

This is why I say-nothing good happens after midnight.



Criteria Skill How It Is Done

3. Ideas

3.1. Make Bad stuff happen

If your character desperately wants to win a race, make them twist their ankle and trip over a dog and stop for a baby crawling across the track. If your character wants to be left alone, give them a surprise party. If your character needs to chase a bank robber across a bridge, make the bridge incredibly high and your character horribly afraid of heights.

3.2. Have an opinion about it.

It is incredibly unfair

OR

It is not good policy….

4a. Persuasive Devices

4.1. Make out bad stuff will happen.

If we don’t do something about this ______problem everyone will die.

4.2. Have an opinion about it.

It gets me so angry when I hear about people throwing plastics in the ocean.

4b. Character and Setting

4.3. Character:

Make your character talk

“That is my seat,” he growled angrily, with saliva dribbling from his puffy lips.

4.4. How does your character move

Crept, galloped, waddled, hobbled

4.5. Setting: Refer to the time and place

Turning the torch on to see

Smelling the smoke

Crabs scuttling on wet leaves

5. Vocabulary 5.1. Think of the smartest word you know-and use it!

Dichotomy

There is a ‘dichotomy between thought and action.

5.2. Think of a great simile-use it!

She was so happy she was jumping around like a kangaroo on a pogo stick.

6. Cohesion 6.1. Tie it all together.However, additionally, even though, finally, therefore…?

6.2. Give your sentence a friend to support it.

I first met Mandy in Paris, where I lived as a small child (friend sentence or subordinate sentence is the bold sentence)


Criteria Skill How It Is Done

7a. PersuasiveParagraphing

7.1. Miss a line. Heading

Green-House Gases

There have been many attempts to introduce efficient forms of energy to reduce……

7.2. Stick to this argument

Talk only about ‘green-house gases’ in this paragraph.

7b. NarrativeParagraphing

7.3. Topic Sentence Stick to this theme/idea/place/time.

It was the first day of school and we had a test! I could tell this term was going to be a long one!

8. Sentence Structure

8.1. Make it colourful.

We don’t want to read about Paul who woke up and went to school and then came home and ate afternoon tea and then woke up and it was all a dream.

We want to read about Bernard the Bikie who has a bright red beard that hangs down to his knees, rides a Chopper to school and lays burnouts in the school car park.

8.2. Make it come alive!Use feeling and senses.

You are so hungry you were thinking of eating a slug.

9. Punctuation

9.1. Capitals, full stops, speech marks, question marks, exclamation marks.

Use them!

Capital ‘I’ for reference to yourself!

10. Spelling 10.1.Syllabify difficult words (clap it).
