A great persuasive writing task to support children in writing an argument. Two siblings are desperate for their mum to buy them an Xbox! Children are asked to build an argument to persuade her. The resource includes tips on structuring the argument and reminders of different persuasive techniques: emotive language, alliteration, rhetorical questions, imperatives, lists of three and hyperbole.

The resource is so helpful as it provides me with authentic materials, methodology and practice that I lack here in my area.
