This sheet supports pupils in recognising the techniques writers use to make their arguments convincing. By analysing a model persuasive text, children identify how opinions are introduced, which emotive words and sentence starters strengthen arguments and how examples or evidence support ideas. They also notice how writers often end by repeating their opinion or setting the reader a challenge. Pupils are then guided to adapt these techniques in their own persuasive writing, helping to make their arguments more powerful and effective.
