Forming Strong Opinions - Writing Non-Fiction - Persuasive Writing: Because, But, So...

Using "because, but, so" is a great way to build a strong opinion because it helps you develop your ideas fully rather than just stating them. As a result you will sound more convincing and reach perceptive ideas through exploring more complex judgements.

Encourage students to think of a counter argument but then bounce back straight to theirs to show a more perceptive and developed way of arguing. Perfect for Language Paper 2 Q5 Persuasive Writing skills. KS3 and KS4 English or below or above! As a GCSE English Language Paper 2 examiner, I recognised that this skill was a huge win to make progress.

This would go nicely with The Big Societal Ideas: Level Up - Writers' Intentions – Secondary English.
