When we write a persuasive text we try to

convince someone about something…

We try to make someone change their mind if

they think differently to us.

We try to make someone believe the same thing we do.

To persuade!

It could be anyone.

or

It could be different people at different times.

Which are better?Dogs or cats?

Which is better?Summer or winter?

Which is better?Chocolate or ice cream?

A persuasive text needs….

1) A title

4) A conclusion

3) Reasons

2) An introduction

* If you’re feeling really clever, use persuasive words.

Think about your writing as a salad sandwich….

1) Start with a slice of bread.

That’s your introduction. It is where you say what you believe.

3) Put on the last piece of bread.

That’s your conclusion. It is where you repeat what

you believe.

2) Put on the butter and the salads – the more, the better.

Each reason is another piece of salad.

If you’re feeling really clever, use persuasive words.
