  • Assignment Persuasive Essay Characteristics
  • In a persuasive essay, the writer assumes a
    position on a subjectwhich your text refers to
    as taking a standand then tries to persuade
    his/her readers to agree with that position by
    supplying evidence that is accurate and
    trustworthy. In this assignment, you will have an
    opportunity to evaluate the strategies other
    writers use to write persuasive

  • CheckPoint Brainstorming Techniques
  • In traditional brainstorming, individuals or
    groups of people compile ideas on a topic but do
    not evaluate or organize the ideas presented. In
    contrast, mind-mapping (also called concept
    mapping) visually places the thoughts into
    categories.

  • COM 120 Effective Persuasive Writing
  • A thesis statement should be created for every
    academic paper you write. Often appearing at the
    end of a papers introduction, the thesis informs
    readers in a concise manner regarding your
    intention in writing the paper. The thesis
    statement should consist of one declarative
    sentence that summarizes the main idea of the
    essay in 25 or fewer

  • Discussion Question 1
  • Writing a topic sentence is similar to writing a
    thesis sentence but on a smaller scale. Whereas,
    the thesis statement conveys the main idea of the
    entire paper, a topic sentence conveys the main
    idea of a single paragraph. Having a topic
    sentence in each paragraph helps to ensure
    unification of the ideas in the paragraph.
    Because any sentence that does not pertain to the
    topic sentence should not be included, a topic
    sentence automatically unifies the paragraph.

  • Assignment Full Sentence Outline, Thesis
    Statement, and Working Reference List
  • Before you write a first draft of your Persuasive
    Essay, you will need to organize the structure of
    your paper. One way to organize your ideas is by
    creating a formal outline. Normally, an outline
    organizes only the body of your paper.
  • Although you are required to provide your thesis
    statement at the top of this outline guide, the
    thesis itself will be part of the introduction

  • CheckPoint Paragraphs
  • Often, writers use more than one type of
    supporting paragraph to develop an essay. The
    type of supporting paragraph depends on the type
    of thesis statement the writer has chosen. For
    example, an argument might be supported by an
    example or cause/effect, and a personal
    experience might be supported by details.
  • In this CheckPoint, you will determine the kinds
    of supporting paragraphs that are best suited for
    your thesis statement.
