Persuasive Writing Lesson

Assessment Focus: WAF5

An outstanding, well paced, interactive lesson which covers the conventions of writing to persuade.

Students will study tone, review and test their knowledge of language techniques, and use punctuation to add expression to their writing.

Students are also given opportunities to take part in ‘mini tasks’ lasting 60 seconds each, throughout the lesson, offer peer reviews and practice their spelling, punctuation and grammar skills for WAF5.

Main independent task includes success criteria and prompt questions.

Suitable for a double lesson: mid to top set ability groups, however lower sets would benefit, simply split the tasks over 2-3 lessons and allow an in-depth revision lesson on the list of language techniques provided-or simply exclude the more complex techniques from the list.

KS3/4.
