Persuasive Text Bundle

Teaching persuasive and opinion writing is made easier with these prompts. Persuasive – Opinion Writing is exciting to teach. Children have strong opinions and enjoy sharing what they believe. This bundled pack encourages them to provide reasons for their point of view.

Explore with your students –

• options for Persuasive and Opinion Writing

• 100 writing prompts

• planning templates

• rubrics

• checklists that will improve writing this genre for every student

Instructions for use –

• Copy, laminate and cut out the cards.
• I have used a sticky note holder to keep my writing prompt cards in.
• This way they stay together and our writers have easy access to them.
• There are three planners to use with spaces for one, two or three reasons to support each point of view.
• There are options for the checklist and the rubric for Persuasive and Opinion Writing.
• Use the checklist for assessment or goal setting at teacher conference time.

Persuasive Opinion Writing Prompts

This Persuasive Opinion Writing Pack has 22 prompts for writing about opinions that will motivate your writers. Your students will present a point of view with supporting arguments. The Persuasive/Opinion prompts can be printed or displayed on your whiteboard or TV screen.

This pack is useful for Australian teachers who need to prepare for NAPLAN – the National Writing Assessment for Australian Schools

This pack includes

• Simple planning tool – You can use this to plan to help your students plan using a blank piece of paper.
• Persuasive prompts – These 22 prompts can be printed off and shared. I would suggest that they are displayed on your Smartboard or IWB and used as discussion starters.
• Print and go sheets – The ‘print and go’ copies are for your students to write on and check off as they include parts of the text in their writing.
• Assessment – Choose between one for each child or a class recording sheet.
• Writing pages – You can use this as a draft or published piece. The empty box can be used as a plan or for a supporting illustration or diagram.

Please Note – Australian teachers – this pack is supportive of NAPLAN (this is a National Assessment Program) as it is about good teaching from day one of primary school, not just teaching the writing styles just prior to the assessment time. This pack will help you to work with Year 2 to Year 6 students to help prepare them for our National Testing as well as write well planned and reasoned persuasive texts. Included is a marking guide based on the NAPLAN Marking Guide produced for Australian Schools.
