TEEK Persuasive Planning Organiser

Choose a topic you care about, then build a persuasive argument using TEEK: Topic sentence, Explanation, Evidence and Keep it going (link). Use the planning tools below to prepare ideas for your own persuasive text.

Choose your issue

Pick one prompt or write your own: Should our community have more bike paths? Should students help choose some school lunch options? Should parks have more native plants? Write a clear topic and decide which side you will argue.

1.My persuasive topic is ________________. I believe that ________________. Write a position that someone could agree or disagree with.

Build your first TEEK paragraph

Keep every part connected to your position. Evidence can be a reliable fact, a relevant example or a detail you can check; do not invent statistics or expert quotes.

2.Write the main point of one body paragraph. It should support your overall position.

3.Explain why this point matters. Add a cause, effect or practical detail so your reader can follow your reasoning.

4.What evidence could support your point? Name a source to check, or give a specific example from your community. Separate confirmed facts from ideas you still need to verify.

5.Write a linking sentence that connects this point to your overall position or previews your next reason.

Test your argument

A strong persuasive writer considers another view respectfully, then answers it with relevant reasoning.

6.What might a reasonable person who disagrees say? State their concern fairly, without making it sound silly.

7.Respond to the concern with a reason and evidence you could check. Try this frame: “Although some people worry ____, the community should consider ____ because ____.”

Choose persuasive tools

Match your technique to your audience and purpose. Use evidence honestly and avoid language that overstates what you know.

8.Choose two or more techniques that would suit your argument. Explain how one choice could influence your reader.

9.Write three persuasive words or short phrases that fit your topic. Avoid insults and unsupported claims.

10.Who do you want to persuade? Name one language choice you will make for that audience and explain why.

11.Read your planned Topic sentence, Explanation, Evidence and Link. Does each part support the same position? Write one improvement you will make before drafting.
