Abstract: Functional texts, which include a persuasive text, are among the long texts whose teaching requires various complex skills such as understanding the meanings of words, paraphrasing sentences, rewriting statements, defining frank and logical relationships between the parts of the text, finding explanations, and interpretation of terms and new sentences in order to understand the purpose of the text. Thus, teaching this type of text requires simplification and graduation from simple stages into more sophisticated ones. his study focuses on teaching a persuasive text and enabling the pupils to write the text through the stages of the pioneering project of the Pilot Model for Teaching the Written Presentation, which consists of reading comprehension, lexical/vocabulary knowledge, writing, and evaluation. The study concludes that teaching the pupils written presentation skills, including persuasive text, through the stages of this pilot model, is likely to enable the pupils to acquire writing skills faster, more effectively, and more accurately.
