UNIT 1 IS ALL ABOUT THE ART OF "PERSUASION!"
"IT'S DEBATABLE" Project:
WHAT IS PERSUASIVE WRITING?
In persuasive or argumentative writing, we try to convince others
to agree with our facts, share our values,
accept our argument and conclusions, and adopt our way of thinking.
Elements toward building a good persuasive essay include
- establishing facts
to support an argument - clarifying relevant values
for your audience (perspective) - prioritizing, editing, and/or sequencing
the facts and values in importance to build the argument - forming and stating conclusions
- "persuading" your audience that your conclusions
are based upon the agreed-upon facts and shared values - having the confidence
to communicate your "persuasion" in writing
