Persuasive Text: Create at leaflet By Linda Buckmaster
When you write, you need to ask yourself these questions.
“Why am I writing? What is my aim?”
This is YOUR PURPOSE
Clueless!
“Who am I writing to? Who is going to read it?”
This is YOUR AUDIENCE
Example Write a leaflet for teenagers in which you persuade them the benefits of not smoking.
The purpose is key to your writing.
Let’s look at the features of different types of persuasive writing‌
Audience
Can you identify the type of audience the following images are aimed or targeted?
What’s the point ..? Where to start ..? Connectives that explain your views
Did you know ..? It’s a known fact ..! End it ...! Beware of imitations!
Get the real deal!

your ideas into a sensible order that allows your writing to flow ..... Using the planning list and frame for a leaflet can be very helpful: Let’s start....
Planning list • My leaflet is about .. • The purpose is to ... • The audience will be ... • The facts about my topic that I intend to use in my presentation are: • I will use the following images:

Mistakes to avoid ......
Don’t forget to plan out the key areas you intend to cover.
Remember to have well developed paragraphs to enable you to convey your writing ability to the reader, in this case me (the examiner).
Look carefully at the target audience you are writing for and adapt your writing accordingly.
