Spot the Persuasion

Read the short texts, look for clues that try to change someone’s mind, and explain what you notice. Use evidence from the words.

Read the campaign

The Greenfield Park crew is trying to persuade families to bring a reusable drink bottle on Saturday’s park clean-up day. “Bring your own bottle and help keep Greenfield Park beautiful! Reusable bottles mean fewer plastic bottles left behind. You’ll also stay refreshed while you collect litter with your friends. Be a park champion—pack your bottle today!”

1.What does the campaign want families to do? Choose the best answer.
  • Bring a reusable drink bottle to the clean-up
  • Buy a new park
  • Stay home on Saturday
2.Write two reasons the campaign gives for bringing a reusable bottle.
3.Find and copy one phrase that makes helping sound exciting or important.
4.True or false? The campaign gives a reason to support its request.
TrueFalse

5.Which sentence is trying to persuade the reader?
  • The oval is beside the library.
  • Come and try our fun lunchtime skipping club!

  • “the amazing new game”
  • “Join us today!”
  • B. A reason
  • A. A strong or positive word
  • C. A direct request
7.In the campaign, what action word tells families what to do? Copy it.
