This Persuasive Writing Year 5 Unit Plan is a 5-lesson program designed to develop your students' knowledge and skill around persuasive writing.

In this unit, students will develop skills around understanding persuasive structure and devices, culminating in a final assessment of skills with a persuasive prompt. Students will be involved in various hands-on activities to apply their persuasive skills, such as Argue, Argue, Argue! and Argumentative Value Line.

These resources are excellent for NAPLAN practise and preparation.

The unit plan package downloads as a zip file and contains the following resources:

1. Unit Guide: includes a unit overview, lesson plans with associated resources, assessments, rubrics and suggested resources.
2. PowerPoint: provides supplementary information for each lesson.
3. Displays: definition posters.

While this unit is aimed at Year 5, it is also more than suitable to use with Year 4 to develop and enhance their persuasive writing skills.
