Today you are going to write a persuasive text, often called an exposition.

Pupil-free school daysMany schools have pupil-free days. These

are days, usually the day after a school

holiday, when teachers go to school but

students do not.

What do you think of pupil-free days?

Write to convince a reader of your opinions.

Before you start writing, give some thought to:

whether you strongly agree or disagree with having pupil-free days

the way you will present your ideas: clearly list or order your points

the reasons or evidence for your arguments

your brief but definite conclusion. In your conclusion list some of your main

pointsyou may add a personal opinion.

Dont forget to:

plan your writing before you start

write in correctly formed sentences and take particular care with paragraphing

choose your words carefully and pay attention to your spelling and punctuation

write neatly but dont waste time

quickly check your story once you have finished. Your position must be clear to

your reader.

Remember: the stance taken in a persuasive text is not wrong, as long as the

writer has evidence to support his or her opinion. How the opinion is supported is

as important as the opinion itself.
