Graphic Organizers for Persuasive Writing


Before your students can create a piece of persuasive writing, they will need to choose a topic, research their topics, organize their ideas, and create outlines to guide their writing. Have students use graphic organizers during prewriting to prepare to write.


Objections Chart

Filling in an objections chart can help students consider and answer objections to their opinion.


Pro-Con Chart

A pro-con chart helps students look at both sides of an argument.


Problem-Solution Chart

A problem-solution chart helps students gather and organize information.


Supporting Reasons Table

A supporting reasons table is useful when writing a persuasive essay because it helps students think about why they hold a particular opinion.


Response Form

A great way to write a better paper is to get feedback from a friend or family member.
