Persuasive Writing Planning Workshop
Use a community cycling race as a topic to practise building a persuasive argument. Make your position clear and support it with reasons and examples.
Choose a position and audience
1.Which statement gives the clearest position on whether the town should hold a cycling race each year?
- The race takes place on a road near town.
- The town should hold an annual cycling race because it brings people together and encourages active transport.
- Some people ride bikes, and other people watch.
- There are many things to think about when planning an event.
2.Choose the audience most likely to make a decision about closing streets for a community cycling race.
- The local council
- A group of race spectators
- People watching cycling videos online
- Riders from another country
3.Write one sentence stating your position on this proposal: the town should organise an annual cycling race. Include a because clause to introduce a reason.
Build and connect your arguments
4.Match each persuasive purpose to the linking phrase that best signals it.
- Introduce the first reason
- Add another reason
- Give an example
- Show a contrast
- Wrap up the argument
- For instance
- However
- Overall
- To begin with
- Furthermore
5.Write three distinct reasons that could support holding a yearly cycling race. Add a specific example or kind of evidence beside each reason.
6.Complete the sentence with the linking phrase that best shows a result: “The route would be closed to cars for an hour; , residents could plan another way to travel.” Choose from: for example, as a result, on the other hand.
7.Draft a conclusion for a persuasive piece arguing that the town should hold an annual cycling race. Restate the position and briefly remind readers of one reason.
Choose persuasive language and review your plan
8.Write one emotive word or phrase, one question that might make the council consider your argument, and one fact or statistic you would want to verify before using. Do not invent a statistic.
9.Review your own plan. Mark each element you have included: a clear position, three supporting reasons, examples or evidence, linking phrases, a conclusion, and language suited to your chosen audience.
