Synopsis

Learning how to write to persuade and argue is an essential writing skill needed to write articles and letters - required throughout the school curriculum. Young writers will be taught to develop their points of view, in order to convince their target audience to believe in something - whether it is an exotic holiday destination or signing a petition. What s more, they will be taught how to make a point and provide evidence and comments to support their argument. They will learn to write a balanced argument, build up a counter argument and knock it down. They will be shown how to use literary techniques in their writing. More than this, the book contains a lively collection of writings for older children and teenagers: discursive topics on topical issues, poems and a play script, inspired by the work of children, their purpose, to provide starting points to help your child write. Learning Persuasive Writing and Argument is ideal for home study and will reinforce the work done in school. It is a companion to the other books in our series, Creative Story Writing and Information Writing. By working methodically through this book the student will grow in confidence and learn to enjoy writing. Please note, this is the US Edition.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Sally Jones is a qualified teacher with over thirty years experience of teaching in the classroom and as a private tutor. She runs a successful private tuition business in Surrey, teaching children from 5-17 years. Sally began writing her own educational material to teach English, as a direct result of tutoring children on a one to one basis. She became aware that there was a gap in the retail market of teaching resources that would cater for the specific needs of her pupils. This need gave birth to her creative writing books, which provide reluctant writers with starting points to get them writing. More than this, she realised there was a need for English activities that stretched more able children, for those with special educational needs or where English is a foreign language. Amanda Jones graduated from a Surrey University in English Language And Linguistics and went on to complete an MA in English and Sociology. Her love of writing began in her teens when she submitted projects to win the title of Young Environmentalist of The Year on three occasions.
