Persuasive Language Practice Worksheet

Help the students’ council persuade the school community to create a native-plant garden. Read the campaign message, explore persuasive techniques and write a convincing message of your own. Use Australian spelling.

Read the campaign message

A Greener School Starts Here! Our school should create a native-plant garden beside the playground. It would give local bees and butterflies a safe place to find food, and it would make the yard more beautiful. Imagine learning science outdoors among colourful flowers! A small garden is easy to care for, and everyone can help. Let’s get growing this term—our school deserves the best!

Spot the persuasive choices

Look closely at the campaign message. Persuasive writers use strong opinions, emotive words, rhetorical questions, inclusive language and reasons to influence their audience.

1.Which phrase gives a clear opinion about what the school ought to do?
  • “beside the playground”
  • “Our school should create a native-plant garden”
  • “among colourful flowers”
  • “this term”
2.Find one emotive or strongly positive word in the campaign message. Write the word and explain what feeling it may create in the reader.
3.The message says, “Let’s get growing this term.” What does the word “Let’s” suggest about who should take part?
  • Only the students’ council
  • The writer and reader together
  • Only the school gardener
  • Nobody in particular
4.Match each persuasive technique to the example from the campaign message.
  • Inclusive language
  • Strong opinion
  • Reason
  • Call to action
  • “It would give local bees and butterflies a safe place to find food”
  • “Let’s get growing this term”
  • “Let’s get growing this term”
  • “our school deserves the best”
5.Complete the sentence with a persuasive word from this box: should • amazing • everyone. “ can help make our school greener!”
6.Which sentence is a rhetorical question designed to make the reader think?
  • The garden will need water.
  • Where could you learn about nature better than in our own garden?
  • Some plants attract bees.
  • We can plant seedlings on Friday.
7.Improve this plain sentence by adding a persuasive word or phrase: “The garden will have flowers.”

Build a convincing case

Plan a short message to the students’ council asking for the native-plant garden. Include an opinion, at least two reasons and a call to action.

8.Write a persuasive message of 3–5 sentences asking the students’ council to create the native-plant garden. Use at least two persuasive techniques, such as strong words, inclusive language, a rhetorical question, reasons or a call to action.
