Persuasive Writing – Social Action Letters « Ms. Rankin's English Class

Here's a lesson for middle school students (grades 6 through 8), but it provides useful advice for letter-writers for any age.

Ms. Rankin writes:
In our last class, students developed the following list of SUCCESS CRITERIA for writing an effective persuasive letter. These should be used as guidelines as they work on their rough drafts and final copies.
Next up in the lesson: those eight criteria.

For more advice, check out Garbl's Action Writing Links. It's an annotated directory of websites that can help you get people to read your writing, keep readers interested and persuade them to respond while they're reading or afterward.
