Persuasive Paragraph Writing

I can state an opinion, support it with reasons and linking words, and organise my ideas into a persuasive paragraph.

Understand persuasive writing

Read each question carefully. Choose the best answer or complete the task.

1.What is the main purpose of a persuasive paragraph?

To entertain readers with an invented adventure
To explain how to make or do something
To share a viewpoint and give reasons that may convince readers

2.Which words can help connect an opinion to supporting ideas? Choose all that apply.

because
for instance
also
next Tuesday

3.Match each paragraph part with its job.

Opening opinion
Reason
Example
Conclusion

Gives a specific detail that supports a reason
Tells the reader what the writer thinks
Explains why the writer holds that view
Finishes by restating or reinforcing the view

4.Complete the sentence with the word “because” to show a reason: “Our class should visit the science museum we can learn by trying the exhibits.”

5.Which sentence gives a clear opinion supported by a reason?

The museum has a blue sign by the front door.
I think every class should visit the science museum because its hands-on displays make learning exciting.
Freya walked past the dinosaur model.

Plan your paragraph

Choose one topic: Should our class visit the science museum? Should the museum have more hands-on exhibits? Should school days include more time for reading? Write your own ideas in the spaces.

6.Write your chosen topic as a question or statement.

7.State your opinion about your topic in one clear sentence.

8.Give one reason for your opinion. Begin with “because” or use another suitable linking phrase.

9.Add an example or detail that could support your reason. For example, you could describe an exhibit and explain how it helps visitors learn.

10.Write a concluding sentence that reminds the reader of your opinion.

Write and improve

Use your plan to write a complete persuasive paragraph. Include an opinion, at least one reason, a supporting example or detail, and a conclusion.

11.Write your persuasive paragraph. Use linking words to make the connection between your ideas clear.

12.Improve your paragraph by adding a second, different reason to support your opinion. Write the new reason here.
