Persuasive Writing Planner

Help Nathan, Ana and Zoe persuade the dairy farm’s decision-makers to make one change. Read the farm scenario, choose a position, and plan a convincing argument. Use the model answers as examples; your own well-supported ideas may be different.

The farm’s big decision

At a dairy farm in New Zealand, Nathan, Ana and Zoe have been asked to suggest one improvement. Nathan wants a wider, shaded resting area for the cows. Ana thinks the farm should plant more shelter trees near the paddocks. Zoe would rather add a covered bike rack so workers can cycle to the farm in wet weather. The farm can afford to begin only one project this year. The team will consider ideas that explain who benefits, why the change matters, and how it could work.

1.Which project should the farm begin this year: a shaded cow-resting area, shelter trees, or a covered bike rack? State your choice clearly in one sentence.

2.Which reason would best support planting shelter trees? Choose one and explain why it is persuasive.

Trees can provide shelter from wind and create shade for animals.
Trees make the farm look like a picture in a book.
Trees are interesting to count.

3.Write one piece of evidence or a specific example that could help convince the decision-makers. Do not invent a statistic; explain what the farm could observe or find out.

4.Complete the persuasive sentence with a linking word or phrase: “I support planting shelter trees they could give cows shade and protection from wind.”

5.Someone might argue that a covered bike rack should come first because it would help workers who cycle. Write a respectful response that acknowledges this concern and explains why your chosen project should still come first.

6.Number these parts from 1 to 3 to show a clear persuasive paragraph order: conclusion; reason and example; opinion.

Conclusion
Reason and example
Opinion

7.Write your main reason for the project you chose, then add an example, observation or detail to support it.

8.Give a different reason for your choice. Explain who or what would benefit and how.

9.Use your opinion, two reasons or examples, a linking word, and a concluding sentence to write one persuasive paragraph recommending a farm project.
