I very much believe in modelling a task for the children especially when trying to get them to expand their writing beyond simple facts. Here I have included the tasks which I use with my Year 6 classes. The balloon problem is described in the SMART board resource (word too for those without SMART). I chose Saddam Hussein for my person as I was teaching in the Middle East and he was the evil figure that they all knew about.
The second set of resources are discussion/discursive writing and again uses a framework to help the children form their writing.
Children struggle to choose their own topic so I like to use my 'Box of Doom' and they get a random topic. The Discursive week as it is slightly different to argument I do a group activity before an individual writing task.
