Persuasive Writing Structure Exemplar

Overview:

An annotated example of a persuasive text that highlights correct structure and the use of persuasive devices. Designed for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the key structural elements of a persuasive text.
• Recognise and analyse persuasive language devices in context.
• Use the exemplar as a model for improving persuasive writing.

How the Activity Works:

Students examine a persuasive text with annotations that highlight key structural elements, including the introduction, body paragraphs and conclusion. The exemplar also identifies persuasive devices such as rhetorical questions, emotive language and evidence. This resource serves as a reference to help students strengthen their own persuasive writing by applying similar strategies.
