First things first...

Let’s learn how to write to persuade.

When you write to persuade:

• you convince people to do something or believe in something
• you can exaggerate to get other people to agree with your view.

You must decide:

• Who will be my target audience?
• Who will read this writing?
• What is the purpose of my writing?

Let’s persuade people to go out for the day and take their children.

• You must speak to the reader directly - ‘if you’re dotty about dolphins...’
• You must use cool words - admirable adjectives and nouns -
• ‘dazzling day out,’ ‘scrumptious bird shaped biscuits,’ the softest feathers’
• You must use vibrant verbs and adverbs - ‘The ostriches were striding along/strutting proudly.’
• You must involve your reader so they agree with your opinions - ‘We will teach you much about these delightful creatures.’
