Preparing to write a persuasive speech
I can create a plan that helps me to structure and prepare to write the first draft of a persuasive speech.
Lesson details
Key learning points.
- Considering the purpose, audience and form of writing can help you begin to make choices about language and structure.
- Thinking about your own opinions and knowledge of a topic can help generate initial ideas.
- You should consider the overall structure of your writing before breaking it down into more detailed plans.
- Single paragraph outlines provide an effective and efficient way to plan writing.
Common misconception
Mind mapping is the only way to plan a piece of writing.
Mind mapping is a good place to start, but isn't always useful for considering structure. Using single paragraph outlines is an effective way to ensure a cohesive stricture and a clearly developed line of argument.
Impressive - to cause admiration or awe. It means something is really good and makes you go ‘wow!’
Elaborate - to add more detail or information to something
Appropriate - suitable for a particular purpose or situation
Sophisticated - to be complex, advanced or refined
Content guidance
- Contains depictions of discriminatory behaviour.
Supervision
