Appropriate For My Argument

Worksheet Description

The Multi Genre Persuasive Writing worksheet is a planning tool that helps students to map out their persuasive argument across multiple genres. At the center, students are prompted to write their main argument, and in the surrounding spaces, they need to identify which genres they plan to use and explain why each chosen genre is suitable for their argument. The design of the worksheet encourages students to consider how their central message can be effectively communicated through different forms of writing, each potentially appealing to different aspects of their argument.

The worksheet teaches students the importance of selecting appropriate genres for conveying their persuasive message, considering the strengths and appeals of each genre. It also encourages strategic thinking, as students must rationalize why certain genres will effectively support their main argument. By engaging with this activity, students enhance their ability to plan and organize complex writing projects, and they become more adept at tailoring their persuasion to diverse formats, broadening their communicative competence.
