A Persuasive Writing Template Pack for Upper Elementary Students
As teachers, we know that students have a tendency to dive into a piece of writing before they have completed the necessary planning. While this enthusiasm is encouraging, the result of inadequate planning is usually a text that lacks cohesion and is too simplistic in its nature.
Careful planning is one of the most effective ways to strengthen students’ writing. That’s why Teach Starter has created this persuasive writing template pack perfect for use by upper elementary students! The resource includes five individual templates that students can use to thoroughly plan a piece of opinion or persuasive writing. These include:
- Text Overview Planner
- Argument Paragraphs Planners (x 3)
- Persuasive Devices Planner
The argument paragraph planners are of particular value as they allow students to carefully plan each argument they intend to include using the PEEL technique (Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link). Similarly, the planning sheet to help students generate and choose rhetorical devices such as emotive language, rhetorical questions and high‑modality vocabulary helps ensure these key features find their way into the students’ completed texts.
