Learn the idea

Informational writing explains facts. Persuasive writing gives a position with reasons, while being fair about evidence.

Worked example

A notice explaining a recycling box is informational. A letter asking for one is persuasive if it gives reasons.

  1. Read the example and explain which rule or evidence it uses.
  2. Try each task yourself, then compare the answer and its reason.
