Here's what our members are saying...

There are a lot of resources that are useful for teaching English. I downloaded the games which are handy and use them in my classes. With the games, my students never skip class or feel tired to learn English. The resources for teaching English helped my students progress in grammar, vocabulary, writing and comprehension. They also helped me a lot to guide my students to learn in a practical way.

A friend told me about the site, and it's awesome. I have found the Business English resources especially engaging and relevant for my students as the materials help them understand business writing and terms. My teaching experience has also improved from using the games on the site as they allow me to teach in a fun way. The user experience is outstanding. Great job!

I found Teach-This a long time ago when I started teaching. It's always had great resources. I really appreciate the grammar materials, board games, and group activities. They've saved me lots of time on lesson planning. The materials are easy to use and understand, making my job much simpler. The best thing is that many resources can be downloaded for free. I've used it for around 8 years, and it consistently offers great content.

I use the resources from the Games Section as part of my daily 30-minute morning warm-up activities, and I've received rave reviews for using them. The games help me maintain student interest and participation and leave the students feeling happy and awake. I like everything about the site, and customer support is very effective as they respond in time.

Teach-This is one of the best EFL websites I've found. It's extremely user-friendly, and I always find what I need quickly. I like the design, and the content is fun, engaging and original. I am very thankful for all your work and generosity by making some resources free. I always recommend this website to my fellow teachers. Your work is really helpful, and I value it enormously.

I like the grammar-focused resources the most as they save me time. The resources also inspire me. If I see an interesting grammar activity, I often rework it for other grammar rules. I like the fact that I simply pay a flat fee, and I can download whatever I want. Teach-This really is a great timesaver. I know that if I am in need of resources for my students, I can go to Teach-This and find something interesting.

Getting familiar with the site and how to use the resources is not difficult. I found the writing skills resources to be the most valuable as they have enhanced my teaching of this skill. The website is elaborate and full of all types of resources to help me teach English. When I contacted customer support, they were super-fast to deal with my enquiry. So overall, I recommend it.

I have found the grammar and vocabulary resources the most valuable. They have improved my teaching experience because they are easy to use and well-organized. The materials are very engaging for my students. The website is also very user-friendly. The best thing about Teach-This is that it offers ready-made worksheets for busy teachers, and the content is well-organized and full of information.

I'm really glad I found the Teach-This website. The materials in the General English section have proven to be really helpful and made my classes more engaging. The materials are well-structured and cover a wide range of topics, making it easy to keep my students interested and motivated. Overall, my experience using your resources has been great.

My first impression of the website was that it was amazing. The games and activities have really improved my teaching. The resources are engaging and relevant to my students’ needs, and I find the website easy to use and navigate. Thanks.

I discovered the site on Google when I was searching for question games and reading activities. It has been very helpful. The activities are awesome and have benefited me and my students by making my classes more fun. I am now less stressed about preparing for classes as the ready-made resources offer me everything I need. I give the site five out of five for user-friendliness. It is very easy to navigate and find what I need.

I would like to thank you for making a fantastic website. I particularly enjoy teaching the functional language materials, which have been very helpful in my classes. The resources have significantly improved my students' communication skills in daily life, so it was rewarding to see them benefit in this way. It feels great to be able to make a difference in my students' lives. Please keep up the good work.

Persuasive Writing Worksheets

Related ela standard: w.7.1.

When we use persuasion in our writing, we are trying to convince someone to believe our thoughts or opinions. The best way to do this is to appeal to the reader through clear and logical truths. The difficulty is realizing how hard you need to push. Some writers can be overly aggressive and scare readers away from their points, others can be too subtle, and their readers will drift off of course. The better understanding that you have of your readers, the easier it is to frame the conversation in such a way that it resonates with them and they will have a great deal of affinity towards the ideas that you present. The worksheets below help students begin to live through their different arguments and begin to position these thoughts at their readers.

Persuasive Writing Worksheets:

The Fundamentals - This is a brainstorming activity all kids should do before writing. We help you examine all the things that go into developing an effective persuasive essay.

Identifying Main Points & Writing Topic Sentences - Work on this one with a partner. Pick a topic, and write a good introductory paragraph. Then, switch papers with a partner. A

Getting Your Audience's Attention - Find the eye catching text. Put a check mark next to the more effective topic sentence. Explain why it is more effective than the other one.

Identifying Elements - Make sure to read the directions a few times. You will need to answer a series of questions along with it.

Effective Attention-Grabbers - An effective persuasive attention‐grabber should be an interesting fact or a short story that is the first sentence(s) in a paragraph. Does this make you want to have some pizza?

Write Your Own Concluding Paragraphs - You are given a topic to just run with. Write a concluding paragraph for each thesis below. Remember to include a call to action, summary of main points, and a statement to get them excited about the topic.

Topic Sentences for Body Paragraphs - Read the introductory paragraph, and create three topic sentences for each body paragraph.

Identifying Qualities of a Good Persuasive Essay - Find a good quality persuasive essay that's at the appropriate reading level for your students.

Brainstorming Persuasive Topic Ideas - In the box, brainstorm several topics that you can take a stand on. Pick your favorite, and write a paragraph and topic sentences for three body paragraphs.

Persuade Your Audience! - Pick one of the topics below, and write a persuasive essay. Be sure to include all the necessary elements of a persuasive essay.

Team Work - Get into groups of 5, and agree on a topic and a stance. Then, taking turns, have each group member write one paragraph of the essay (intro, 3 body, and concluding paragraph). Work together to create a cohesive essay.

Finish the Essay - Have you ever made a birdfeeder with a pinecone and peanut butter or reused a water jug for something?

Taking a Stand! - Write a persuasive introductory paragraph for each question based on your opinion.

Writing an Effective Persuasive Leads - Write a good persuasive lead that includes everything listed above. Make sure that it includes an attention‐ getter (first sentence), a clear statement of where you stand on the issue (pro or con), and a sentence that introduces the topics of the paragraphs for the rest of the paper.

Outlining a Persuasive Essay - The key to a good essay is outlining your main ideas before you begin writing.

How to Write a Persuasive Essay

When we are planning an academic essay with the purpose of convincing the reader that our opinion on the matter is more valid than others, we need to plan the way we present this carefully. Your main goal is to present as much factual evidence in a logical manner to support your argument.

Like any essay you start by planning your three main parts: introduction - body - conclusion. In the introduction you need to grab the reader’s attention this can best be done through the use of an emotional statement or thesis. You will also want to take a stance on an issue in this section. You also need to make sure that you present readers will a balanced argument that takes the opposing stances into consideration. If there is any background information that the reader needs, this is the place to present that to them.

You will then move on to the body of your work. This section requires you to offer as much supporting information as possible. Always defer to using hard facts that can’t really be disputed at all. The focus here should be on steering readers into believing the nature of your argument is fact based. The conclusion is often very simple to write if you are just restating your argument and highlighting all the evidence that followed.
