If you can convince people that you are right, you will be able to achieve so much more within your job, with your friends and new people that you meet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Persuasive writing is about trying to get the reader to agree with your opinion or ideas. To be able to express what you want and what you believe to be true, we at Summer Boarding Courses have put together these 100 persuasive writing prompts to help you exercise your tactics!<\/p>\n<h3>Persuasive Writing Prompts for Writers<\/h3>\n<p>We have 25 fun writing prompts for each age group below that we teach at Summer Boarding Courses in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Present your arguments like a pro, build upon your critical thinking skills and communicate seamlessly through your writing with these opinion writing prompts.<\/p>\n<p>But first, before you begin to write, you must consider the following\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>Which audience are you trying to persuade?<\/h3>\n<p>Who are your trying to persuade? Is it your friends, your teachers, the manager of a company or the whole community that you live within? Different groups of people have different wishes, ideas, needs and wants. Think carefully about what appeals to the group you are trying to convince.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you are student arguing that school break times should be longer to your student friends, they may be easier to persuade than the teachers!<\/p>\n<p>Students love to hang out with their friends, go outside, do sport and eat delicious food.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you are trying to convince the teachers at your school that break times should be longer, they may feel stressed and unsure about this. They have lessons that they need to deliver to you, work goals to meet, and your education and learning is at the forefront of their minds.<\/p>\n<p>If you can convince them that you can complete your learning is less time, they might just agree that longer break times are a good idea!<\/p>\n<p>Always try and appeal to each person\u2019s perspective so that you can convince as best as you can.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<section\n  class=\"block bg-white wp-block-image-slider\" id=\"images\"\n   style=\"padding-top: var(--wp--preset--spacing--huge); padding-bottom: var(--wp--preset--spacing--full); --block-width: var(--container-md); --block-gutter: 91.6667%\" >\n      <div class=\"mx-auto w-11\/12 max-w-md\">\n              <div class=\"js-image-carousel relative\" data-image-carousel=\"image-slider\">\n          <div class=\"swiper overflow-hidden\" data-autoplay=\"true\"><div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n            <div class=\"swiper-slide module-image__gallery-card\"><img width=\"583\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.summerboardingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/male-student-writing-on-whiteboard-583x347.jpg\" class=\"w-full\" alt=\"male-student-writing-on-whiteboard.j\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1280px) 440px, (min-width: 768px) 46vw, 92vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.summerboardingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/male-student-writing-on-whiteboard-583x347.jpg 583w, https:\/\/www.summerboardingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/male-student-writing-on-whiteboard-789x470.jpg 789w\" \/><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide module-image__gallery-card\"><img width=\"583\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.summerboardingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/group-of-students-smiling-in-front-of-building-583x347.jpg\" class=\"w-full\" alt=\"group-of-summer-school-students-smiling-in-front-of-building\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1280px) 440px, (min-width: 768px) 46vw, 92vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.summerboardingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/group-of-students-smiling-in-front-of-building-583x347.jpg 583w, https:\/\/www.summerboardingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/group-of-students-smiling-in-front-of-building-789x470.jpg 789w\" \/><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide module-image__gallery-card\"><img width=\"583\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.summerboardingcourses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/student-and-teacher-working-on-laptop-583x347.jpg\" class=\"w-full\" alt=\"student-and-teacher-working-on-laptop\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1280px) 440px, (min-width: 768px) 46vw, 92vw\" \/><\/div>          <\/div><\/div>\n          <div class=\"mt-8 flex items-center justify-center space-x-3 lg:mt-16\">\n            <button class=\"js-image-carousel-prev text-current disabled:opacity-30\" type=\"button\"><svg width=\"44\" height=\"44\" viewBox=\"0 0 44 44\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n  <path d=\"M28.8487 13.9584L26.28 11.4397L15.3496 22.1576L26.28 32.8756L28.8487 30.3569L20.5051 22.1576L28.8487 13.9584Z\" class=\"fill-current\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n\n<span class=\"sr-only\">Previous Slide<\/span><\/button>\n            <div class=\"js-image-carousel-pagination\"><\/div>\n            <button class=\"js-image-carousel-next text-current disabled:opacity-30\" type=\"button\"><svg width=\"45\" height=\"44\" viewBox=\"0 0 45 44\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n  <path d=\"M18.2483 11.4397L15.6797 13.9584L24.0232 22.1576L15.6797 30.3569L18.2483 32.8756L29.1788 22.1576L18.2483 11.4397Z\" class=\"fill-current\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n\n<span class=\"sr-only\">Next Slide<\/span><\/button>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<section\n  class=\"block bg-white relative wp-block-title-text\" id=\"be-kind-and-respectful\"\n   style=\"padding-top: var(--wp--preset--spacing--x-large); padding-bottom: var(--wp--preset--spacing--x-large); --block-width: var(--container-md); --block-gutter: 91.6667%\" >\n      <div class=\"relative\">\n    <div class=\"u-wrapper--medium relative z-10 flex flex-col flex-wrap justify-center\">\n                          <div\n          class=\"prose prose--content text-left  max-w-full [&#038;_a]:text-current\">\n          <h3>Be kind and respectful<\/h3>\n<p>We can all have different ideas about what is right, wrong, correct and unusual.

This evidence can be qualitative or quantitative.<\/p>\n<h4>Qualitative evidence<\/h4>\n<p>Qualitative evidence is descriptive information that can come from a personal story, an interview, a drawing or a photograph. You can find this information from personally talking to people about their experiences.<\/p>\n<h4>Quantitative evidence<\/h4>\n<p>Quantitative evidence is about numbers, statistics and concrete data. This information can come from surveys, official records and experiments which carefully follow methods to try and ensure accurate information. Many people prefer to see quantitative evidence, as personal stories collected for qualitative evidence can sometimes be inaccurate.<\/p>\n<h3>Show that you understand the different sides to your argument<\/h3>\n<p>A clear and coherent writer who is putting their argument forward will have taken the time to consider other points of view different to their own.
