Persuasive Devices are used throughout a text to increase the likelihood of convincing the audience to feel or think a certain way. Persuasive Devices can often be remembered by the acronym AFOREST. This acronym stands for: alliteration, facts, opinion, rhetorical questions, emotive language, statistics and three (rule of three) OR triples. 

Designed to make key writing tools instantly visible and easy to remember, this resource breaks down each element of AFOREST with a clear explanation and a student-friendly example. Perfect for modelling, wall displays, or writing conferences, it turns your classroom into a persuasive-writing powerhouse.

To support different teaching preferences, this pack includes interchangeable cards for “Triples” or “Threes”, allowing you to align the terminology with your curriculum or school practice.

This teacher resource includes:

• AFOREST heading
• 7 persuasive device posters
• Each card includes:
  • the technique explained in simple language
  • an example students can use as a model
• Interchangeable “Triples” / “Threes” posters

A clear, purposeful display to help students confidently apply persuasive devices and strengthen the quality of their writing.
