Let’s dive into Persuasive Writing
This week's session has thought me that persuasive writing intends to convince readers to believe in an idea or opinion. It’s a form of non-fiction writing the writer uses to develop logical arguments, making use of carefully chosen words and phrases.
I have also learned that a good piece of persuasive writing is when you have an opinion, 3 reasons and evidence, and then your opinion restated. You could use the Oreo model, the graphic organizer, or the story map. These methods can assist you in developing an excellent piece of persuasive writing that will convince your readers.
Reviews, editorials, proposals, advertisements
and brochures are some examples of pieces of writing that use persuasion to
influence readers.

Christibell, I too, loved the notion of using the graphic organizers when trying to organize ideas. Many times before, I have been caught writing a piece not sure where to take it next or sometimes, I have gotten unhappy with what I wrote, only to trash everything. However, with the use of the organizer, I know just what I am about to write, so writing is a less frustrating task. That was an excellent video, simple and understandable enough to share with students. I will definitely check out other videos in the series, thanks for sharing.

DeleteErica, I have been in the same predicament as you were, and so, I do like the idea of using graphic organizers to have a smooth transitioning into writing different pieces. These organizers can help you to save time and headaches when writing because you will know exactly what you will be writing about.
ReplyDeleteHey Christibell, I have fallen in love with the graphic organizers myself. They certainly help when laying out the various points in preparation for writing a persuasive piece. The use of the graphic organizer helped me greatly when I was doing my persuasive piece. My favourite graphic organizer is the Oreo version. I think it is very student-friendly. I definitely look forward to using it with my students.
ReplyDeleteExcellent video Christibell. I must admit that I rerely employed the concept of graphic organizers when writing persuasive pieces previously. However, since being exposed to it again in class and using it for my persuasive writing piece, boy am I hooked. It makes life easier, not to be too dramatic. My thoughts are more organized and I can put my focus into researching the ideas that will convince the reader of my opinion and ideas.
