Year 7 Writing to Persuade – Which and Why?
Year 7EnglishWorksheet1 pages
A one-page activity that teaches persuasive writing by comparison. Students look at five groups of three statements, tick the most persuasive one and write a reason – a great way to understand the techniques before using them in their own writing.
What it covers
- Modal verbs and certainty ('must' vs 'should' vs 'I think')
- Statistics and expert/customer quotes as evidence
- Rhetorical questions and direct address
- Emotive language
- Urgency and imperatives
Who it's for
Year 7 students (age 11–12); also useful for Years 6 and 8 and for GCSE persuasive writing basics.
How to use it
Discuss the answers aloud – there's no single right answer, it's the reasoning that matters.
