Persuasive writing part 1 core notes ppt
- 1. Persuasive Writing Part 1: • When asked to write persuasively, you are trying to convince your audience to agree with you or do something you believe in • YOU HAVE TO FULLY UNDERSTAND the issue you are discussing
- 2. But, how can I persuade? • Think about it, you are persuasive all the time. How do you convince your parents to get something that you want? - - - • Persuasive writing is not a whole lot different. The stronger your argument, the better your writing will be. (More people will pay attention to what you have to say!)
- 3. To write a persuasive essay, you should: 1) Form your opinion about the issue. *Take your time! (The more you learn, the more your opinion may indeed change! )
- 4. 2) State your thesis in a strong statement in the introduction part of the essay. *This should make clear what your opinion or point of view is 3) Consider your audience, who are you trying to convince? Let this idea guide your writing.
- 5. 4) Support all claims/opinion statements with evidence, specific details, or reasons *Use details from articles/research you have done *Factual details can be very convincing!
- 6. 5) Conclude your essay with a sentence that re- states your opinion and strongly summarizes your argument.
- 7. • Other Tips: • -Ask rhetorical questions (to draw readers in, get them thinking!) • -Address the point of view that is opposite of yours. Predict what people against you may say and address them in your essay. • -Give one reason per paragraph. Don’t try to bombard readers with all your reasons at once!
