Paragraphing non-fiction writing, including presenting a balanced argument

In this lesson, we will introduce 'non-fiction'. We'll discuss some common types of non-fiction as well as learning to identify why we write these pieces and who we write them for.

In this lesson, we will consider how we start or introduce our own piece of non-fiction. We will specifically look at how personal pronouns help our audience feel included.

In this lesson, we will look at how we can support a piece of non-fiction writing with persuasive ideas. We will look at how a list of emotive language can help argue or persuade our case.

In this lesson, we will continue our non-fiction but look at how to provide counter-arguments. We will be working on 'against' paragraphs. This lesson also meets a term called 'the conditional' which helps us persuade against by showing potential consequences.

In this lesson, we will consider how to structure a balanced argument in non-fiction. To do this, we'll explore how subordinating conjunctions can be incorporated.

In this lesson, we will finish our piece of non-fiction writing by bringing it to a conclusion. We are going to learn how to include minor sentences or fragments. Commonly seen as errors, we are going to learn to 'break the rules' to use minor sentences which create a final conclusion that calls our audience to action.

In this lesson, we will look at how we can switch our register to adjust matching our written tone depending on our purpose, audience and form. We will finish by considering how we plan for our own independent piece.
