Persuasive Writing Editing Checklist

Read the draft carefully. Use the questions to check persuasive features, spelling, punctuation and flow.

Draft: Make airport waiting areas more comfortable

Airports should provide more quiet seating for families. Travellers often wait for a long time, and crowded chairs can make the experience frustrating. Mei noticed that several families had to sit on the floor near the gates. This is not fair! A simple survey of passengers could show how many people need extra seats. Adding quiet seating would help everyone feel calmer, so airport managers should consider this change.

Persuasive language features

Use evidence from the draft when answering.

1.Which persuasive features appear in the draft? Select all that apply.
  • A clear opinion
  • A personal example
  • A suggested way to gather evidence
  • A rhetorical question
  • A call for the reader to act
2.Which persuasive feature is not included in the draft?
  • A rhetorical question
  • An opinion
  • An example
  • A recommendation
3.Rewrite the opening sentence, “Airports should provide more quiet seating for families”, to make it more forceful and engaging.

Spelling, punctuation and flow

Here is a second draft to edit:

Airports should add more charging points becuase many travellers need to contact there families. The queues are long. Passengers could charge a phone while they wait, this would make the time more useful. Managers must act now

4.Find and correct the spelling and punctuation errors in the charging-points draft.
5.Which sentence in the charging-points draft is a short, undeveloped statement that could be linked to the following sentence to explain why queues might be less frustrating?
  • Airports should add more charging points becuase many travellers need to contact there families.
  • The queues are long.
  • Passengers could charge a phone while they wait, this would make the time more useful.
  • Managers must act now
6.Choose a connective from this list to add another supporting point: Furthermore, However. “Passengers could charge a phone while they wait. , they could use the extra time to contact family.”
7.Choose a connective from this list to show the result: Therefore, However. “Passengers could charge a phone while they wait. They could use the extra time to contact family. , airport managers should install more charging points.”

Improve the argument

Finish by strengthening the support for the proposal.

8.Suggest one way to gather evidence that could support installing more airport charging points.
