A persuasive piece is particularly difficult to write because you are trying to get the reader to accept your point of view you need facts or examples to back up your opinion. You must also pick the right side to be on, the side with the best points.You want to make sure you have a hook or a grabber to open your essay, it's important to have this because you must convince the reader to believe you.
Some ways to improve your Persuasive writing is to make sure you have enough facts about your topics, the reader is going to want evidence to back up your points. Also having strong points brings the reader in, if your piece is boring the reader will not be interested.
I think the best way to improve on persuasive essays is to read more and write more about them. If we don't read them then we will not learn and if we don't read them we will obviously not write anything on them, which will make us lost. I think it's up to the student to stay caught up, the best you can do as a teacher is just be there for us if we need help.

ReplyDeleteVery true. If we hope to improve then we have to read and write. Nice points!
ReplyDeleteJust to correct a minor mistake, in your second paragraph, first sentence, persuasive shouldn't be capitalized. I do agree with your statement that it's up to the student to stay caught up as well as everything else you mentioned.
