This resource contains a model text of a persuasive speech. This can be explored with your pupils as a good example of what you might expect them to write. Give them time to read the model text, analyse the vocabulary used and the sentence structure. What elements might they want to use in their own writing?

Then pupils can use the writing frame to create their own persuasive speech. They may want to write out a first draft in their books and use this worksheet for a final copy to be proudly presented on the wall. Encourage children to use all the ideas, vocabulary and editing techniques they have learnt to produce a high-quality piece of writing.

The teaching PowerPoint for this writing unit provides both the model text and a blank writing frame so that you can model writing techniques and demonstrate a writer’s thought process. It could also be where you do a shared write to guide and inspire writers.
