Lesson details
Key learning points
- The purpose of the main body is to clearly state the writer’s most persuasive points.
- Using a plan and success criteria can help inform the writing process.
- Presumption and veiled threat are appropriate persuasive techniques to use in the main body.
- Points backed up by evidence, statistics, quotes or anecdotes are effective in making the writer sound credible.
Common misconception
Pupils may use veiled threat as a persuasive technique, but they may use it clumsily or inappropriately.
The scaffolding and modelling of what appropriate veiled threat looks and sounds like is explicit in the lesson.
