PERSUASIVE PARAGRAPH

This week we studied persuasive paragraph and I would like to share with you what I learned.

If you want to build an argument, this type of paragraph is recommended. When a paragraph is professionally written, it includes reasons to support the ideas. To achieve this, it is necessary to add research and facts to convince the reader

The persuasive paragraph tries to get the reader to accept of change a point of view or just to understand the writer point of view.

This kind of compositions can vary from a serious proposal to an unusual one.

Some things to take into consideration are:

• Try to convince the reader that a point of view is worthy of consideration

• If you consider both sides of an issue, you can reveal a preference in favor of one side over another. The writer can show preference for a specific idea.

• Facts are important to support and idea or position, but the writer is not being objective. The point of view is subjective because every person thinks in a unique way, the writer is giving an opinion. 

Introductory sentence:  the topic sentence is the one that states the argument.

Use word such as: Some believe that, in my opinion, therefore, moreover, for this reason, I feel that, surely, I am sure that, it is certain

Evidence: This supports the point of view; individual experiences are important.

Give reasons for and against. 

Ask questions to get readers thinking, this is quite common because will let the reader thinking about your position or point of view. 

After learning all these characteristics, we made a composition of a persuasive paragraph, and I would like to share with you the result.

 

Thank you so much for reading! I`ll see you next week!
