Persuasive Planner

The structure of persuasive text is oreo.

O is opinion. Opinion is what you think the topic is about. For example: a opinion is like this. We should not have the lunches because people waste the food. And sometimes people pour food out. People put their food in the bin and put their container in the tray without eating it.

R and E is reasons and explanation. Reason is the back up for a opinion. Explanation is telling examples about the topic. For example: They spent their time to give us lunches and it’s a waste of time if you don’t eat it. The lunch lady should have a rest because they have to use their time to make the lunches.

O is opinion. Opinion is the last pieceof what you want to text. For example: You should just eat the food you’re given from home.
