Today you are going to write a persuasive text, often called an exposition.
Pupil-free school daysMany schools have pupil-free days. These
are days, usually the day after a school
holiday, when teachers go to school but
students do not.
What do you think of pupil-free days?
Write to convince a reader of your opinions.
Before you start writing, give some thought to:
whether you strongly agree or disagree with having pupil-free days
the way you will present your ideas: clearly list or order your points
the reasons or evidence for your arguments
your brief but definite conclusion. In your conclusion list some of your main
pointsyou may add a personal opinion.
Dont forget to:
plan your writing before you start
write in correctly formed sentences and take particular care with paragraphing
choose your words carefully and pay attention to your spelling and punctuation
write neatly but dont waste time
quickly check your story once you have finished. Your position must be clear to
your reader.
Remember: the stance taken in a persuasive text is not wrong, as long as the
writer has evidence to support his or her opinion. How the opinion is supported is
as important as the opinion itself.
