Lots Of Writing Tasks Teaching Writing To Argue: ‘Save Our Tree’ (7-11 years)

In this pack, the child is asked to read Anya’s report for the T.V. broadcast ‘Save Our Tree’. They should read the different points of view of people who want to stop the tree being chopped down and then, they should add their own viewpoint. Next, they should use the prompt to write their own newspaper article. After this, the child should write a letter to the council. They should cut out the writing prompts and sort them into different viewpoints, to help them write their letter.

This series provides prompts to encourage children to write. It provides starting points, to encourage even the most reluctant writers. Presented in a lively ‘magazine style’ format, these packs feature stories and non fiction texts to read. They include follow up activities that will inspire even the most reluctant writer, to write stories, letters, play scripts, diaries, poems, persuasive leaflets and more. More than this, the child will learn writing techniques including: simple, compound and complex sentences – connectives, grammar tips – harder vocabulary and punctuation.
