Hamburger Persuasive Paragraph Template

Overview:

Students plan and structure a persuasive writing paragraph using a clear and organised approach. Designed for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the structure of a persuasive paragraph.
• Use supporting facts and examples to strengthen an argument.
• Write a clear and compelling topic sentence and conclusion.

How the Activity Works:

Students use the Hamburger Persuasive Paragraph Template to structure their persuasive writing. The template encourages them to include the key components of a persuasive paragraph, similar to how a hamburger has layers. Elements of the template include:

• Topic Sentence (a clear topic sentence that introduces the main point of the paragraph)
• Supporting Sentences (supporting sentences explain and support the topic sentence with facts, examples or reasoning)
• Concluding Sentence (a concluding sentence reinforces the main point and wraps up the argument)

This template helps students focus on creating well-structured persuasive paragraphs. It ensures that each paragraph presents a clear idea and is supported with strong reasoning and evidence.
