Did you ever have an idea and wanted individuals to side with you? This idea is known as persuasion.
(Australian Curriculum Lessons, 2020)
Persuasion is the art of gaining favorable consideration for your point of view. When doing this you should lure the audience so that they can reconsider their own ideas. Me and my siblings usually argue about whose turn it is to do certain chores. When learning how to write persuasive essays my points will be stronger and I will in turn win arguments. This will not only pertain to my personal life but my academic life as well. This is a link to one (1) of my colleagues’ blogs. https://gawjussjael.blogspot.com/ At the end of the blog is an image entitled ‘Writing to … Argue or Persuade.’ This image has various Persuasive Techniques which can be used to persuade the reader.
When writing a persuasive essay, you should ask yourself:
- Is the topic sentence stated clearly?
- Is it linked to my thesis statement?
- Are my details convincing?
- Do the ideas flow smoothly?
- Does my final sentence: restate the topic sentence/ link to the next paragraph?
Writing persuasive pieces is a crucial aspect of a child’s academic career. As a future teacher I will ensure that I give my students sufficient time to plan when writing persuasive essays. I will also give the students a checklist so that they can stay on task while writing a persuasive essay. While teaching persuasive writing I will use the OREO Strategy. When students use this strategy they will be more willing to write.

This is an example of the OREO template.

Hey Shavel, here's another graphic organizer you can use to get your students to brainstorm and organize their ideas before actually starting to write. Check out this link https://www.pinterest.com/pin/199425089727074942/
ReplyDeleteThank you Jael, this is truly appreciated.
DeleteHi Shavel, it's great to see how much you learnt from the sessions on persuasive writing, I too learnt quite a lot from the persuasive writing techniques shared, like using exaggeration and anecdotes. I love to see that you are putting these techniques into practice in your personal life as well, even if it is to get out of doing chores. Also, I found the graphic organiser Jael shared, is an excellent one to get students to organise all their ideas before writing. It even allows them to think of counter arguments, which is also important to bear in mind.
ReplyDeleteShevon, I share the same sentiments about class. According to the argument I will try to oppose too.
