Mind Maps: Preparing and Planning Persuasive Writing

We have been thinking about ethical problems as part of our Inquiry, We are Explorers of the World of Ideas. The question, Is it wrong to eat animals? has made us really think and has produced some passionate arguments. Persuading the reader that your point of view is the correct one requires more than using the loudest voice. We have been unpacking the features of a powerful argument. Using passionate voice, empahatic language and logical points as well as the occasional sprinkling of facts are all useful techniques. We have used Mind Maps to organise our thinking and plan the writing. This is an example in which the author, Ewan demonstrates that he is ready to write.
Great illustrations too Ewan!
