If you could find some high interest articles that are persuasive or show different views to share with your class and then discuss what the author's purpose was. One of our programs had an article about the pros and cons of playing video games and then another one was the positives of wearing school uniforms and one was about only offering healthy items in vending machines. Both articles were very good discussion starters and helped students think about the author's purpose and begin thinking about the hows and whys of persuasive writing. Hope this helps some.
