This resource is perfect for enabling students to build both their persuasive writing and their speaking and listening skills. Based upon the popular BBC series 'Dragons' Den', students have the opportunity to research, design, pitch, and evaluate arguments for their own inventions, whilst simultaneously analysing persuasive pitches, revising persuasive techniques, structuring arguments and articulating convincingly. Included is a 16 page booklet (I would say at least 4-5 hour lessons of tasks) that lead students to: - Introduce themselves and their interests; - Watch persuasive pitches (links included) and identify persuasive devices; - Analyse why persuasive devices are effective; - Structure an analysis appropriately; - Brainstorm ideas for an invention using imagination and helpful aiding questions; - Formulate an argument by considering key questions and counter arguments; - Write and present a persuasive pitch; - Peer-evaluate and self-evaluate persuasive pitches. I have also provided some examples of news stories featuring the worst and best pitches from the den, in order to provoke discussion about what makes a strong pitch.

This is a revision lesson for section A of the English Language paper. It focuses on persuasive techniques. I used it with an article about Facebook, but it can be adapted to suit most things. I use it with a very bright top set Year 9, so I think it would be suitable for Y10 too.

Pupils need to match the definitions to the explanations.

Lesson 2 in this revision/skills building scheme of work around the writing section of the paper 2 examination. This is a full lesson with a wide range of activities in order to develop and master this important aspect of argumentative and persuasive writing in preparation for the examination. The lessons have been designed around (and make reference to) the AQA specification. However, I'm sure they are equally applicable to other specifications and exam boards.

Assessment Focus: WAF5 An outstanding, well paced, interactive lesson which covers the conventions of writing to persuade. Students will study tone, review and test their knowledge of language techniques, and use punctuation to add expression to their writing. Students are also given opportunities to take part in ‘mini tasks’ lasting 60 seconds each, throughout the lesson, offer peer reviews and practice their spelling, punctuation and grammar skills for WAF5. Main independent task includes success criteria and prompt questions. Suitable for a double lesson: mid to top set ability groups, however lower sets would benefit, simply split the tasks over 2-3 lessons and allow an in-depth revision lesson on the list of language techniques provided-or simply exclude the more complex techniques from the list. KS3/4.

This is a adapted version of my Persuasive Leaflet Lesson. Instead this is all based around writing newspaper articles. It also has extra resources such as an article to annotate and another lesson where they put their new found knowledge into their own article. (Please see free resources for several newspaper templates, if needed) In this pack you will find two power point presentations that are both on revising persuasive language devices and then trying to find them in an article. (Please note this is an article I have got online and put into a newspaper article format with images)The only difference between the top two power points is one gives the examples and definitions to the class and the HA one asks the class questions to challenge them to remember. To go with this lesson there is the article and a hand-out sheet that the class can fill in when looking at the article. This gives them questions to answer about the article to help them identify the features and devices used in a persuasive article. After the class has completed this lesson, you will want to know if they now can apply their learnt skills to their own article. Please find attached the 'Practising Writing a Persuasive Newspaper Article Lesson' which will give them information (Short video online - not necessarily needed, but link available) and a success criteria on how to write an article. Please see free resources for newspaper templates. This really helped prepare my class for an assessment on newspaper articles. The engaging tops such as homework stress article and too many assessments information got them talking and interested.

This lesson is intended for an English language class in year 7 (grade 6) or younger. It could be adapted as a revision lesson for older year groups. It includes an introduction to purpose, audience and text type, as well as basic persuasive devices techniques. When I taught this lesson, I gave out a bag of sweets as a prize for the most persuasive speech at the end of the lesson. Depending on your school reward system, feel free to change the word ‘treat’ to something else, and possibly the image on slide 2 and 5! I have included a print out for a classroom wide card-sort, which I had the students race to complete in small teams. I hid the terms all around the classroom and the winning team were the first to correctly lay out all the terms on their desk. I have included clips of famous speeches so students can see how it’s done, although be aware that this may be better suited to cover in a later lesson, depending on the amount of time you have with them. Due to copyright reasons, I couldn’t include any advert pictures on the slides, but there are plenty of examples you could on Google Images use if you’d prefer visuals - Coca Cola have some great ones. This lessons is designed as a straightforward introduction to persuasive devices but could then be used as a springboard to a unit on speech writing or advertising.

This is one of my favorite units. I did it almost every year I was teaching and always had a good response. It works well because the writing assignment involves choice and authenticity. They aren’t writing what you tell them to write and they aren’t writing to you. This works great for a persuasive writing unit in English or a government unit in U.S. History. Students write official letters to their government representatives. Included in this set is a page for the teacher explaining how I taught this unit, a page on ethos/pathos/logos that can be used as a handout or a lesson, a planning page that guides the student's research and outline, a letter format page to help the student understand how to write an official letter, and a peer edit page for the revising process.

Two full hour lessons on persuasive writing; developing key skills using device acronyms, video clips and revision guide support. Suitable for KS3 being introduced to the GCSE, KS4 or as a revision tool for Year 11.
