Persuasive Techniques Practice

The dig team wants a new shade shelter. Explore how words can persuade, then write your own convincing message. Read each choice carefully. You can draw or write your answers.

Meet the dig team

Jai and Ivy are helping at a dinosaur dig. The team works in the hot sun. Jai wants the group to put up a shade shelter.

1.Which sentence is trying to persuade the dig team to put up a shelter?
  • The shelter is blue.
  • Let’s put up a shelter so we can work in the shade.
  • I can see a fossil.
2.Read: “The sun is very hot. A shelter will give us shade.” What does this sentence use to give a reason?
  • A fact or reason
  • A silly joke
  • A feeling word
3.Read: “Please help us! The tiny fossil could get too hot in the sun.” Which words try to make the reader care?
4.Jai says, “Our dig leader has worked at many fossil sites. She says a shelter helps protect the team.” Who is being used as a trusted helper?

Spot the persuasive tools

Persuasive writers can use reasons, feelings, or a trusted person’s words. Match each message to the tool it uses most.

5.Match each message to its persuasive tool.
  • “A shelter gives us a cool place to rest.”
  • “Our experienced dig leader recommends a shelter.”
  • “Imagine how lovely it will feel to rest in the shade!”
  • Trusted person
  • Reason
  • Feelings
6.Tick the kind and helpful persuasive sentence.
  • “Put up the shelter now, or else!”
  • “Could we put up a shelter? It would help everyone work comfortably.”
  • “You are silly if you don’t want a shelter.”
7.Finish the sentence with a reason: “We should put up a shelter because…”
8.Write one feeling word that could help persuade the team to protect the fossil. For example, how might the team feel if it were damaged?

Make your case

Now persuade the dig team to choose a useful item for the fossil site. Choose a shade shelter, a water station, or a soft brush.

9.Circle or say which item you want the team to choose: shade shelter, water station, or soft brush. Then give one reason for your choice.
10.Write a short, kind message to persuade the dig team to choose your item. Try using a reason or a feeling.
Draw the item you chose at the dinosaur dig. Add one detail that shows why it would help.
