Persuasive Writing Mat and Planning Sheet with lesson

This writing mat, which should be printed on A3 couble sided and laminated for future use, has all the methods listed in DAFOREST around the edge of the page with examples. These devices are coloured coded (bronze for easy, silver for more difficult and gold for higher ability.) Use them as a guide to encourage students to include persuasive devices in their own writing, or use to support the annotation of texts by other writers. There is a space in the middle of the mat for students to place paper or they could practice writing phrases on the mats with whiteboard pens if the sheets are laminated.

A handy planning grid is also provided, along with a writing to persuade lesson, ready made for you to trial your new resources.
