Can You Convince Me? Developing Persuasive Writing

• Resources & Preparation
• Instructional Plan
• Related Resources

Persuasive writing is an important skill that can seem intimidating to elementary students. This lesson encourages students to use skills and knowledge they may not realize they already have. A classroom game introduces students to the basic concepts of lobbying for something that is important to them (or that they want) and making persuasive arguments. Students then choose their own persuasive piece to analyze and learn some of the definitions associated with persuasive writing. Once students become aware of the techniques used in oral arguments, they then apply them to independent persuasive writing activities and analyze the work of others to see if it contains effective persuasive techniques.

Featured Resources

From theory to practice.

• Students can discover for themselves how much they already know about constructing persuasive arguments by participating in an exercise that is not intimidating.  
• Progressing from spoken to written arguments will help students become better readers of persuasive texts.

Common Core Standards

Preparation

Student objectives.

Students will

• Work in cooperative groups to brainstorm ideas and organize them into a cohesive argument to be presented to the class  
• Gain knowledge of the different strategies that are used in effective persuasive writing  
• Use a graphic organizer to help them begin organizing their ideas into written form  
• Apply what they have learned to write a persuasive piece that expresses their stance and reasoning in a clear, logical sequence  
• Develop oral presentation skills by presenting their persuasive writing pieces to the class  
• Analyze the work of others to see if it contains effective persuasive techniques

Session 1: The Game of Persuasion

Home/School Connection: Distribute Persuasion Is All Around You . Students are to find an example of a persuasive piece from the newspaper, television, radio, magazine, or billboards around town and be ready to report back to class during Session 2. Provide a selection of magazines or newspapers with advertisements for students who may not have materials at home. For English-language learners (ELLs), it may be helpful to show examples of advertisements and articles in newspapers and magazines.

Session 2: Analysis of an Argument

Home/School Connection: Ask students to revisit their persuasive piece from Persuasion Is All Around You . This time they will use Check the Strategies to look for the persuasive strategies that the creator of the piece incorporated. Check for understanding with your ELLs and any special needs students. It may be helpful for them to talk through their persuasive piece with you or a peer before taking it home for homework. Arrange a time for any student who may not have the opportunity to complete assignments outside of school to work with you, a volunteer, or another adult at school on the assignment.

Session 3: Persuasive Writing

Session 4: presenting the persuasive writing.

• Endangered Species: Persuasive Writing offers a way to integrate science with persuasive writing. Have students pretend that they are reporters and have to convince people to think the way they do. Have them pick issues related to endangered species, use the Persuasion Map as a prewriting exercise, and write essays trying to convince others of their points of view. In addition, the lesson “Persuasive Essay: Environmental Issues” can be adapted for your students as part of this exercise.  
• Have students write persuasive arguments for a special class event, such as an educational field trip or an in-class educational movie. Reward the class by arranging for the class event suggested in one of the essays.

Student Assessment / Reflections

• Compare your Observations and Notes from Session 4 and Session 1 to see if students understand the persuasive strategies, use any new persuasive strategies, seem to be overusing a strategy, or need more practice refining the use of a strategy. Offer them guidance and practice as needed.  
• Collect both homework assignments and the Check the Strategy sheets and assess how well students understand the different elements of persuasive writing and how they are applied.  
• Collect students’ Persuasion Maps and use them and your discussions during conferences to see how well students understand how to use the persuasive strategies and are able to plan their essays. You want to look also at how well they are able to make changes from the map to their finished essays.  
• Use the Persuasive Writing Assessment to evaluate the essays students wrote during Session 3.
• Calendar Activities
• Strategy Guides
• Lesson Plans
• Student Interactives

The Persuasion Map is an interactive graphic organizer that enables students to map out their arguments for a persuasive essay or debate.

This interactive tool allows students to create Venn diagrams that contain two or three overlapping circles, enabling them to organize their information logically.

What is persuasive writing? Persuasive writing tells the writer’s opinion and why the reader should agree. Copying permitted

What is the goal of persuasive writing? • to state the writer’s opinion • to give reasons why the reader should agree • to convince the reader to take action Copying permitted

Step 1: Read the prompt carefully before you begin. Writing Situation:Many eighteen year olds who are old enough to vote, choose not to register, not participating in elections. Do you think it is important to register and exercise your right to vote? Consider the reasons one would want to register and participate in elections. Directions for Writing:Now writea persuasive essay stating whether or not eighteen year old should register and participate in elections. Give reasons to support your position arguing in such a convincing manner that others will agree with you.

Step 2: Take a stand. Think about the stand that will provide two reasons for argument.

Rhetoric The persuasive power of words was discussed by Aristotle around 350 BC. He presented an analysis of rhetorical strategies, which included three elements: logos, pathos and ethos:

Logos An attempt to persuade the audience (or reader) through sound reasoning. Reliable evidence, e.g. facts, definitions, statistics and other data that appeals to the logic and intelligence of the audience.

Pathos An appeal to the emotions of the reader or audience. Attempt to induce a particular state of mind in e.g. anger, understanding, sympathy, tolerance Taps into the sentiment or feelings of the audience or readership.

Ethos Appeal of the speaker or writer in terms of his / her credibility and experience Presents, directly or indirectly, a profile that sets a stamp of authority on the words used to persuade.

Aristotle’s model of persuasion

Do: Divide into 5 paragraphs (6 if you plan on adding a paragraph with a counter argument) Have a thesis statement in your introduction Come up with 3 main points to support your argument—these will be your 3 body paragraphs Show the “counter -argument” Come up with a catchy title Don’t : Don’t begin with “Hello my name is___ and I’m going to write about____” Don’t use the word “I “ (Instead of “I think we shouldn’t wear uniforms” say “Uniforms shouldn’t be required.” Don’t be wishy-washy. Pick a side! Don’t forget to support your opinions with facts and example s DOS and DON’Ts

Step 3:Prepare the graphic organizer. Now fold your paper into 4 squares.

Step 4: Complete the graphic organizer. Unfold the paper and draw a box in the center. In the center box write a sentence to convey your stand.

Write one reason you think 18-year olds should vote. Example: Voting is your way to state your concerns and beliefs. Example: Every vote counts and is important. Write another reason you think 18-year olds should vote. Step 3: Complete the graphic organizer. Voting is not only the privilege but the responsibility of every 18 year-old. State the other side’s opinion (counterargument and rebut it. It is important to exercise the right to vote. Through this process beliefs and concerns are conveyed. Although many election contests are won by comfortable margins, some have been so close that a single vote has made the difference. Citizens must show the world the importance of voting in a democracy. Summarize your reasons. Example: Some people claim teenagers are too immature. However, if they can go to war, they can vote.

Remember: • You cannot use I. Since you are writing the paper, the reader knows it is your opinion! • You cannot use You. Use: a person, someone, people, citizens, one, he, she, they, etc. • Avoid contractions like can’t, don’t, won’t, etc.

Your Topic • State legislators are pushing schools to adopt an “exit exam.” This would be a comprehensive test that all seniors wanting to get a diploma would have to take. A passing grade would be required to graduate.

Step 1: Think about the topic • Directions for Writing:Now writea persuasive essay stating whether or not seniors should be forced to take an exit exam in order to graduate. Give reasons to support your position arguing in such a convincing manner that others will agree with you.

Step 2: Take a stand. • Think about the stand that will provide two reasons for argument. • PROS CONS

Step 3: Complete the graphic organizer. Write one reason you think seniors should take the exit exam. Example: The exit exam proves that the student has completed the work required. Example: Students would be forced to take their classes seriously. Write another reason you think seniors should take the exit exam. Every seniors should be required to prove his/her readiness for graduation by taking and passing an exit exam. State the other side’s opinion (counterargument and rebut it. Today’s world is more complicated than ever. Students need to retain all that they learn in high school in order to compete for spots in top colleges and jobs. By making seniors take an exit exam, schools will be placing the responsibility for learning on the shoulders of the students and not the teachers. There is a core body of knowledge that everyone should know upon graduation. Example: Critics argue that students have already passed all of their classes and that proves they should graduate. However, students are responsible for their education. Summarize your reasons.

Remember: • Start with a hook and transition to the topic of exit exams. • Do not use ‘you’ or ‘I.’ • Do not use contractions. • Do not use slang words. • Watch your tone. • Use logical reasons for support.

persuasive essay

Reference link: for order: email id: [email protected] a persuasive essay, as you may know, is a type of writing that aims to persuade the readers into believing that the argument or claim made in the essay is correct. even though there are quite a few similarities between an argumentative essay and a persuasive essay, the latter one tends to be a bit kinder and gentler. while in an argumentative essay, you need to discuss and contradict the alternate views, a persuasive essay takes a more lenient approach to convince the reader that the writer has made a believable argument. – powerpoint ppt presentation.
