Persuasive

Convince the reader to agree with your opinion, with strong reasons.

Screens at lunchtime

Your school is thinking about banning phones and tablets at lunchtime so that students spend more time outside and talking to each other.

Write a letter to your principal persuading them to agree or disagree with the ban.

You could:

  • state your position clearly at the start
  • give at least three strong reasons with examples
  • respond to the other side's best argument
