Key learning points
- It is important to consider the overall structure of your writing.
- Creating a specific focus for each section of your writing can help develop your viewpoint.
- You should consider the order of your writing to ensure it is engaging.

Common misconception
In persuasive writing, I just need to include a range of rhetorical devices and sophisticated vocabulary.
Whilst it is important to use rhetorical devices and choose interesting language, you must also consider the structure of your writing. This ensures that your argument has a clear progression and your message doesn't get lost.
Equipment
You will need access to the "Girls can be gamers too!" models, which can be found in the additional materials.
