Class Expo Persuasive Writing

Plan a persuasive piece arguing for or against holding a class expo each year. Use TEEL to organise your arguments: Topic sentence, Explanation, Evidence and Link. Give reasons and examples that support your position.

Understand persuasive writing

Choose, match and complete to show how persuasive arguments are built.

1.Which sentence is the clearest topic sentence for an argument supporting an annual class expo?
  • A class expo should happen each year because it gives students a chance to share what they have learnt.
  • Last Thursday, my group made a cardboard volcano.
  • Some projects use paint, glue and recycled boxes.
  • Would you like to see a model of a volcano?
2.Which sentence gives evidence to support the claim that an expo helps students practise speaking?
  • Students could explain their projects to visitors and answer their questions.
  • An expo is a wonderful idea!
  • Why should we miss this opportunity?
  • Everyone knows learning matters.
3.Match each TEEL part to the job it does in a persuasive paragraph.
  • Topic sentence
  • Explanation
  • Evidence
  • Link
  • Provides an example, fact or experience
  • States the main point of the argument
  • Shows why the point matters or how it works
  • Connects the argument back to the position
4.Complete the sentence: A rhetorical question is asked to make readers , rather than to receive a direct answer.
5.Which sentence uses emotive language to encourage readers to support a class expo?
  • An expo gives every student a proud moment to share their hard work.
  • The expo will take place in the hall.
  • Students can bring a display board.
  • The expo is on a Thursday.

Plan your position

Choose a side and develop reasons that could persuade your audience.

6.Choose the position you will argue: an annual class expo should be held, or an annual class expo should not be held.
  • An annual class expo should be held.
  • An annual class expo should not be held.
7.Write three different reasons that could support the position you chose. Try to focus on different benefits or concerns.

Build your arguments with TEEL

Develop each reason into a persuasive argument. Use relevant explanations and evidence, then link each point back to your position.

8.Develop your first reason about the class expo using all four TEEL parts. Include a specific example or experience as evidence.
9.Develop a second, different reason using TEEL. Make your explanation clear and add evidence that could help convince a reader.
10.Develop your strongest reason using TEEL. Your evidence should be a relevant example, fact or personal experience, not just another opinion.

Choose persuasive techniques

Select useful techniques, then practise writing one persuasive sentence.

11.Which techniques could strengthen a persuasive piece about holding a class expo? Select all that apply.
  • A rhetorical question that makes the reader consider the idea
  • A relevant fact or example
  • An invented statistic presented as true
  • Emotive words chosen to influence the reader
  • A personal experience connected to the argument
  • An expert opinion that is relevant and accurately represented
12.Write one rhetorical question that could encourage readers to consider your position on an annual class expo.
