Explore persuasive writing in KS2 using this summer themed writing pack. Pupils will read a leaflet about local river cruises, showing WAGOLL (what a good one looks like); identifying layout features, how modal verbs in KS2 are used, as well as looking at language devices used to persuade.

Pupils will then write their own leaflet, persuading people to visit another tourist attraction. This could be one in your local area, one that they have visited or an attraction that they imagine using the images as inspiration.
