Student writing persuasively

📖 What is Persuasive Writing?

Persuasive writing tries to convince your reader to agree with your opinion. Great persuasive writing has four key parts:

Opinion statement – clearly state what you think

Reasons – explain why you think this (give at least two!)

Linking words – connect your ideas (because, also, for example)

Conclusion – wrap up and restate your opinion

Tick each box as you include it in your writing!

🔗 Linking Words to Use

because  |  also  |  for example  |  another reason is  |  furthermore  |  I believe  |  this shows that
