Three Steps...
Say what you want to write using this role play activityIn pairs, one of you pretend to be the mum or the dad who is being strict. The other one pretends to be the teenager.
The parent has to persuade the teen why they should not go to the party. The student has to persuade the teen why they should be allowed to go to the party. |
Write down your persuasive speechWrite down your persuasive speech.
Try to include as many different ideas as you came up with in your role play. Make a new paragraph for each idea. Include a WIFM - what's in it for me (in this case it will be the listener). Use the 3 yes technique. |
Re-Write Using Persuasive WordsTypes of words that are persuasive:
Polite words Bigger, better, stronger Emotive words Put ideas in order using Firstly, Secondly, Finally Use the word BECAUSE Emphasize the positive Use comparisons : |
Non-persuasive writingWatch the movie "Simon Birch". It's good.
This is a direct instruction which readers will not respond well to.
|
Persuasive writingI advise you to go and watch the movie "Simon Birch". Firstly because it's extremely funny and secondly because it is entertaining. Finally, Simon is an endearing character who makes you feel good about life. I enjoyed it and I think you will like it too.
|
Use of the word YOU, makes the reader feel like you are talking directly to them.
Using the word BECAUSE backs up what you are saying by giving it a reason
This piece of writing explains the WIFM E.g. they know they'll have a good laugh and
end up feeling "good about life".
Using the word EXTREMELY gives impact to the statement and makes the persuasion stronger.
ENJOYED is an emotive word which the reader will respond positively to
