Convincing With Clarity (Persuasive Writing NAPLAN)

This lesson focuses on linking arguments and persuasive techniques to the audience of a persuasive text. Students will consider why and how people are persuaded and the different strategies that could be used to do so. They will choose a specific audience and write a piece to convince them to take an action. Students will review a peer’s work and make suggestions for improvement, then reflect on their own approach to the task. This lesson is designed to provide valuable practice for NAPLAN, the national literacy test held in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9*.
