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

• 

The author understands the purpose and required elements of writing a persuasive letter. The author also  

identifies his/her audience and appeals to their emotions and values with general reasoning. The author 

 

maintains a confident voice throughout the text.

• 

A persuasive letter does not usually require a title; however, the author does include a date, a salutation and a 

closing which are expected features of a letter.

• 

The author relies on logical reasoning to convince the reader of his/her position. Persuasive devices are not  

incorporated into the piece, which should be a consideration.
