Year 4 persuasive writing develops structured argument: students learn the subjective language of opinion and the objective language of fact, build complex sentences with subordinating conjunctions, link reasons with connectives, and choose precise, persuasive vocabulary. The skills stay within Year 4 expectations — counter-arguments and rebuttals are introduced in later years. Australian spelling and contexts throughout.

The Year 4 achievement standard, plus a plain-English explanation
An explanation of how the prompts connect to the curriculum
Craft areas covered: stating a clear opinion, subjective vs objective language, reasons and evidence, persuasive word choice and synonyms, complex sentences, text connectives, audience and purpose, strong openings, strong conclusions, and full persuasive pieces.

Licence: Single classroom use.
