CONCEPT NOTES:

Persuasive Text
A persuasive essay is a type of writing where you apply all your skills to convince the readers to
take up the particular opinion as a correct one. It implies that you use tools like arguments,
statistics, quotations, and research to reach your goal.

Parts of Persuasive Text


1. Introduction - an introductory paragraph invites your reader into the essay structure.
The introduction contains the following elements:

A. Hook - A hook is like an attraction for your reader—something sharp and engaging – to
prove that you’re writing is worth attention. It is beneficial in persuasive essays because
it appeals to the reader’s emotions rather than the mind. This can be a striking fact,
statistics, figures, an engaging question, or a good quote.

B. Background information - Another essential constituent of an outline for a persuasive


essay is background information. It usually follows the hook. You need it to introduce the
topic to readers and make them aware of the context.
You might need background information for different purposes:
 To explain the definition of a complex term;
 To provide some historical context for the phenomena you describe;
 To report current affairs in the field you highlight.

C. Thesis statement - A thesis statement is an idea with great potential to debate. The
point is that there should be different opinions about the issue in your thesis statement.
It won’t work if the thesis statement is an acknowledged fact.

2. Body - The most significant part of your persuasive essay structure is the body with three
persuasive paragraphs. Each of them consists of an opening sentence and arguments
backing up your claim.
A. Arguments - To argue and persuade, one needs strong arguments. They define
whether your readers will be inclined to believe you.
B. Support - Supporting details include the essence of that truth you stand for in your
essay.

3. Conclusion - It’s the final touch, so apply all your abilities to summarize all the meaningful
information you’ve delivered before.
Persuasive essay tips for a conclusion:
 Do not introduce any new facts, arguments, and evidence.
 Sum up your writing and present the ideas from a different angle.
 Your reader is probably a bit tired: so use clear sentences and don’t overload with
notions.

Argumentative Text
An argumentative content tries to change the reader’s mind by convincing him/her to agree with
the writer’s point of view. It is a piece of writing that takes a stance on an issue. The writer
attempts to persuade readers to understand and support their point of view about a topic by
stating their reasoning and providing evidence to back it up. It should have a straightforward
structure so they are easy for readers to follow. The goal of an argumentative content is to clearly
outline a point of view, reasoning, and evidence. (www.masterclass.com.articles)

Parts of an Argumentative Content


1. Introduction - First is the introductory paragraph. It introduces the problem and gives the
background information needed for the argument and the thesis statement.
The thesis statement is a concise, one-sentence summary of your main point and
claim.
2. Body - the body of the essay contains the reasons. It is a three or more paragraphs that
explain the reasons why you support your thesis. Each paragraph talks about one reason
and it should cover a different idea or piece of evidence and contain a topic sentence that
clearly explains why the reader should agree with your position. These supporting materials
can be examples, research, statistics, studies, and text citations, personal
experiences or quotations. Address opposing points of view and disprove them or explain
why you disagree with them.
3. Conclusion - one paragraph that restates the thesis and summarizes all of the
arguments made in the body paragraphs. Rather than introducing new facts or more
arguments, a good conclusion will appeal to a reader’s emotions. To judge the validity of
the evidence listened to, you need to be familiar with the essential concepts in evaluating
an argument. You have to bear in mind the following steps:
1. Identify the point the speaker is trying to prove (the claim).
2. Identify the specific facts the speaker give to support the claim
