Lesson Introduction: Persuasive Texts

The Magical Pizza Debate

Hook the Students

"Good morning, class! Today, we are going to embark on a tasty adventure into the world of persuasive texts! But before we dive in, I have a very important question for you all:

Which pizza topping is the best—pineapple or pepperoni?

Interactive Discussion

Now, I want you to think carefully about your favourite pizza topping. Pineapple lovers, raise your hands! And now, all the pepperoni fans!

Can anyone tell me why you think your pizza topping is the best?

Brainstorming Session

Let’s capture these delicious arguments! I’ll write them on the board.

• Pineapple supporters might say: "Pineapple makes pizza sweet and juicy!"
• Pepperoni fans might argue: "Pepperoni is spicy and full of flavour!"

Setting the Scene

Imagine that we are going to create our own persuasive texts to convince each other about our favourite pizza toppings.

Transition

Today’s lesson will help you learn how to bring your ideas to life using persuasive words and convincing arguments. By the end of our session, you will not only be able to choose your favourite topping, but you'll also be able to write a fantastic persuasive piece about it!

Are you ready to argue for your pizza? Let’s get started!
