Help your pupils master persuasive writing with this complete lesson on developing a formal, confident and convincing tone. This resource teaches children how small changes in language choices can transform the impact of their writing. Through clear explanations, before-and-after examples and carefully structured tasks, pupils learn to write sentences that are clear, controlled and effective in persuading the reader.
The follow-up activity sheet offers three levels of challenge, from scaffolded sentence starters to independent persuasive writing and greater depth reasoning. This resource supports pupils in strengthening their sentence-level writing and deepening their understanding of how tone influences the reader.
