Does your child struggle with persuasive writing?
Perhaps they have no idea what to write or how to come up with ideas or perhaps they just find the entire subject to be confusing and overwhelming.

Quick Persuasive Writing Tips:
Use emotive language so that your words have an emotional impact on the reader and are more persuasive.
Acknowledge opposing views (the other person’s perspective) whilst making it clear why such views are wrong or ineffective.
Use connectives to ensure that your thoughts, ideas and points link together.
Back up your opinion with facts and evidence. Watch the tutorial above and some of the other Facebook Live tutorials so you can really understand how to do this.
