Writing: Persuasive letters

Thursday 30 January 2025

This week, we’ve starting looking at our next piece of writing. We are going to be writing a persuasive letter. To persuade means to cause someone to do something through reasoning and argument.

We’re going to persuade the Minister for the Environment for the UK, Steve Reed, to tackle climate change more effectively. In our persuasion letters, we’ll have to make him aware of the devastating effects climate change is having around the world and what he can do to combat these effects!

Once we’ve written our letters, we’ll go and post them and await a response!

So far, we have looked at good examples and identified features.

In today’s lesson, we picked out phrases that we can use in our own writing.

Help at home: Have a discussion about how climate change is affecting our world. Is there anything we can personally do to stop it?
