This Persuasive Writing Year 5 Unit Plan is a 5-lesson program designed to develop your student's 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:

• Unit Guide: includes a unit overview, lesson plans with associated resources, assessments, rubrics and suggested resources.
• PowerPoint: provides supplementary information for each lesson.
• Displays: definition posters and modality word wall.

While this unit is aimed at Year 5, it is more than suitable to use with Year 4 to develop and enhance their persuasive writing skills.Updated 13/05/24
