Developing an argument
Lesson 6.3
In order to persuade, you must catch and hold the attention of your audience. This is key to develop a significant and effective persuasion over your readers. The most important thing to start, is catching your audience's attention.
State your position
Organize your argument
A key statement in persuasive writing is the sentence that tells what you want your audience to do or think. Typically a topic sentence, which may appear either at the beginning or at the end of your opening paragraph will contain that statement.
The structure of a persuasive piece can resemble the three-part structure of a report. The introduction states the topic sentence and your opinion on it. The body provides evidence to support your opinion. The conclusion summarizes your argument and suggests action.
Activities
1. Copy the most important details from the presentation 2. Imagine an animal shelter will receive a big donation. What do you think are the best ways the money could be invested? Explain
Take care!
