Persuasive writing worksheet
Persuasive writing tries to make you believe something is true.
It is like SHOUTING at someone!
- What was the last thing that you tried to persuade someone to do?
- What was the last thing that one of your parents tried to persuade you to do?
- What words did they use?
Persuasive writing may try and tell you to buy something or believe something.
- What is the most persuasive advert that you have seen in a newspaper or magazine recently? How did the writing or picture persuade you?
We read and hear lots of persuasive words every day. There are many different ways of writing persuasively. This worksheet will tell you six different things you can do to be persuasive. Use them next time you want someone to do something for you!
