Genre Planner

Worksheet Description

The Multi Genre Persuasive Writing worksheet, titled “Genre Planner,” is a planning document that helps students organize their thoughts for a persuasive writing piece within a specific genre. It asks students to articulate their argument, select a genre, justify their choice, describe what the genre piece will entail using words or pictures, identify the persuasive strategies pertinent to that genre, and explain how this genre piece will relate to their overall persuasive essay. This format encourages students to think deeply about how different genres can be utilized to effectively present an argument.

This worksheet is designed to teach students the importance of genre selection in persuasive writing and how to adapt their message to fit the chosen format. It guides them to consider the unique features and persuasive techniques associated with different genres, helping them understand why certain strategies are more effective in one genre than another. By connecting the genre piece to the overall persuasive essay, students learn how to integrate various writing styles cohesively. This exercise enhances strategic thinking and planning skills, which are crucial for successful persuasive communication.
