Lesson Overview
About this worksheet
A call to action is a sentence that urges the reader to do something, often beginning with a command verb like join, vote, or recycle, and it is common at the end of persuasive writing. A plain statement only gives information. This worksheet helps students recognize and write strong calls to action.
Section A gives eight sentences (Recycle your bottles to help the planet!; Many people throw away plastic bottles) and asks students to label each a call to action or a statement. The reference box teaches the idea with a library-club example, sentences not reused in the items.
Section B asks students to define a call to action, write one urging readers to read more, write one for a water-saving poster, and explain why persuasive writers end with a call to action. Page 3 is a complete answer key with sample answers. The skill builds toward persuasive writing and strong conclusions.
How to Use This Lesson
Read the reference box aloud and underline the command verbs in the call-to-action example.
Complete Section A independently – have students ask ‘is the reader being told to act?’
Work Section B item 10 together: write a call to action that asks readers to read more books.
Use the answer key on page 3 for self-check, noting that other strong calls to action are possible.
Pair with the Persuasive Writing Worksheet or the Writing Conclusions Worksheet for a persuasive mini-unit.
