Lesson details
Key learning points
- The conclusion is the last paragraph that summarises the key information of the letter.
- The purpose of the conclusion is to thank the reader, encourage action and emphasise the purpose of the letter.
- Veiled threats provide a threat that isn’t directly stated but is implied.
- Presumption can make the reader feel like you already believe they’ll do what you are asking.
Keywords
Conclusion - the closing paragraph in a non-fiction text
Veiled threat - a threat that is not directly stated but implied
Presumption - the act of believing something to be true in the absence of proof to the contrary
Common misconception
Pupils may think that a conclusion simply summarises what has already been said, in the same way as the summary section of the PEPS structure.
Teach pupils that the conclusion can continue to have a persuasive impact by using linguistic techniques such as presumption and veiled threats.
