How To Write To Persuade In Newspaper Articles (9-14 years)

How To Write To Persuade In Newspaper Articles (9-14 years)
, Not Grade Specific,

The pack begins by defining persuasive purpose and asking writers to consider viewpoint, audience, message, and organization. Successive teaching pages examine figurative language, fact versus opinion, connectives, rhetorical questions, repetition, emotive wording, contrast, pronouns, statistics, quotations, and other persuasive choices. Newspaper-specific sections then address bias, formal and informal registers, headlines, captions, direct speech, and reported speech. Model reports lead into a letter-writing prompt that asks learners to challenge a newspaper position.
