Identifying the features of a persuasive letter

I can identify the layout and linguistic features of a persuasive letter.

Lesson details

Key learning points.

  • The purpose of a persuasive letter is to try to convince someone to do something or to change their mind or behaviour.
  • Letters written from a character's point of view are written in the first person.
  • A persuasive letter has a specific layout: a salutation, two paragraphs and a sign-off.
  • Persuasive letters have distinctive linguistic features in order to achieve their purpose.
  • A range of persuasive techniques can be used to increase the pressure on the reader to act.

Common misconception

Pupils may find it challenging to identify opinions and reasons in a persuasive letter.

Look for sentences where the writer expresses their emotions and a reason for why they are feeling that way.

Purpose - the aim of the text

Persuasive writing - trying to convince someone to do something or to change their mind or behaviour

Layout - the way a text is structured

Persuasive techniques - language structures or devices used in writing to try to change someone’s mind or behaviour

You need a copy of the 2016 Harper Collins edition of ‘The Day the Crayons Quit', written by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers for this lesson.
