Main teaching:
Explain that we are now looking at another text under the umbrella of persuasive texts.

Explain that we may sometimes need to write a letter to a person or organisation in order to put across our point of view and persuade them to take a course of action or come around to our point of view.

Revise what we need to include in a persuasive argument, explain that it is exactly the same in a letter but in a slightly different layout.

Read the example of a persuasive letter from page 17 of the L4 study guide.
Deconstruct and discuss. Elicit that the opening of the letter needs to be powerful and state the objective of the letter. Talk about the conclusion of the letter and how it also needs to be powerful.

Ensure that children understand the structure of a letter (addresses etc).
