In Year 5 we are learning about writing persuasive texts. A Persuasive text is a piece of writing that tries to convince someone to do something that they may not normally do. In my class we try to use the A.F.O.R.E.S.T techniques (alliteration, facts, opinion, rhetorical question, emotive language, statistics and triplets). It is also very important to use lots of exaggeration when writing. We are aiming to engage the reader so they are more interested in what they are reading. Like other pieces of writing it is important to write a draft piece before you write your published piece (good copy).

Here is some examples of a draft and final piece of the persuasive writing from 5 Yellow.
