Organisation

 – Produce texts which are appropriate to task, reader, and purpose

• 

The author understands the purpose of writing a persuasive letter and includes persuasive devices that enhance 

his/her argument. The audience of the text is also identified; however, not all the reasons would appeal to the 

audience’s emotions, values and logic. The author’s voice is confident, although there is room for development.

• 

A title is not usually required in a persuasive letter and is therefore not a requirement for this piece; however,  

the author does include a heading, a date, a salutation, and a closing, which are expected features of a letter.  

Formatting is accurate and appropriate.

• 

The author uses many persuasive devices, including rhetorical questions, exaggeration, pleading, examples, 

and facts. The author might want to consider including counter-arguments to help defend his/her position from 

obvious rebuttals.
