General Guidelines in Persuasive Writing WRI-TEANG-TIME: PERSUASION AND biases Let us begin with the definition of persuasion. Persuasion aims to convince a particular audience to change their ideas or behavior, and to convince others to support a position or policy. It also aims to sell goods and services and promote a particular cause, view, or interest by any means. Recently, Mayor Alice Guo gained prominence in the country due to her involvement with POGO (Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators), companies that offer online gambling services to markets outside the Philippines. Senator Risa Hontiveros urged the legislative body to ban POGOs, citing issues such as the involvement in criminal activities and negative social impacts, and called for immediate executive action to address these concerns. Look at this Press Release for the Senate of the Philippines. Press Release - Hontiveros calls POGOs a 'hotspot of fugitives', urges immediate ban (senate.gov.ph) “The Executive should order the immediate ban of POGOs now," Hontiveros concluded. Respond to the Text Senator Hontiveros expressed her disapproval of the continuous operation of POGO in the country. What are her reasons? ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ Was she able to defend her claim well? What made you say so? ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ The senator’s plea, as seen in her statements, is an example of an act of persuasion. This is persuasion since she influences her audience to make informed and rational decisions concerning the negative social impacts that POGOs bring to the country. Once you finish your studies and start looking for your first job, you will convince your employer to hire you by stating your strong points and relevant experiences. ATHS Module for English 10: Persuasive and Argumentative Writing | 2  When politicians motivate the people to vote for them through campaigns, they are persuading them as well. Given all these scenarios, learning the art of persuasion is a necessary skill you must develop. For you to effectively persuade people, you should take note of Aristotle’s three modes of persuasion from Leighfield (n.d.) which are: THREE MODES OF PERSUASION Ethos (Greek word for ‘character’) where you will persuade your audience by showing them that you, as a speaker, is credible. You will influence them to do an action or to change their stand on an issue by showing how sincere, reliable, and trustworthy you are; Pathos (Greek word for ‘experience’ and ‘suffering’) in which you will appeal to their emotions or feelings. You will use strong or moving words and statements to make your audience feel what you feel towards a certain https://www.aygentraining.com/post/aristotle-never-goes-out-of-style-how-to-persuade-your-audience issue or a problem; and Logos (Greek word for ‘word’) which focuses on your message. In convincing an audience, your message should be clear, established on facts, and contains evidence which will prove that your stand on an issue is not just purely opinionated, but it is based on facts. LANGUAGE OF CAMPAIGNS AND ADVOCACY In general, we use persuasive skills in advocating or campaigning for a personal or a communal cause or intention. The language of campaigns and advocacy is deliberate, usually combining the three modes of persuasion to influence an audience to support a cause, change their viewpoint, or make an action. Nuñez (2024) differentiated campaign from advocacy. Campaign Advocacy aims to influence decision making about a is usually social or political in nature. social, political, environment, or economic issues These are the language features if you wish to persuade through a campaign or an advocacy to influence public opinion (Nuñez, 2024). 1. Modal Verbs: The inclusion of modal verbs, especially the modals of obligation or necessity (must, should) help improve the quality of persuasion, making it more motivational as it involves direct instructions. 2. Repetition: This language technique involves repeating keywords, phrases, or ideas to reinforce the core message of the campaign or advocacy. 3. Emotive Appeals: The use of ethos to evoke strong emotions to connect with an audience on a personal level is usually used in persuasion. 4. Inclusive Language: The use of words personal pronouns like we, our, and us create a sense of belonging and eventually, a sense of shared purpose. 5. Rhetorical Questions: These are questions that do not necessarily require a direct answer from the audience but are used to provoke thought and highlight an issue. For instance, “Do we want our children to inherit a world filled with pollution?” is an ATHS Module for English 10: Persuasive and Argumentative Writing | 3  example of a rhetorical question. These questions create a sense of immediacy, making them a powerful element in persuasion. 6. Evidence and Statistics: These refer to the inclusion of concrete factual information from research, scholars, or experts. They help in substation and establishing the credibility of your claims. 7. Call to Action: This technique urges the audience to support a certain cause or involve themselves in a specific activity. Identify the language feature of campaign and advocacy used in the following situations. A climate change advocate campaign urging immediate action saying, “We must reduce our carbon footprint to protect future generations" A public healthcare personnel promoting vaccination saying, "Vaccinate for safety. Vaccinate for health. Vaccinate for our community" A commercial showing the struggles of underprivileged children, paired with a narrative about the need for support, aiming to evoke sympathy and compassion A local government official in a community cleanup initiative saying, "Together, we can make our neighborhood a cleaner, safer place for all of us" An environmental protection infomercial addressing deforestation with an ending statement: "Can we afford to lose more of our precious forests? Isn’t it time we act now?" Create a one-sentence persuasive statement that utilizes effective advocacy and campaign language features to encourage citizens in the Philippines to register to vote for the 2025 elections. ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ Pause and ponder Ethos, pathos, and logos—these three teach us the process of speaking.

You are asked to answer the following questions in groups of three. Each take turns in answering them. 1. What is the main goal of persuasion? 2. What are the three modes of persuasion? What is emphasized in each mode? 3. What are highligted in the language features of campaigns and advocacies? WRI-TEANG-TIME: PERSUASIVE AND ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAYs One of the forms of persuasion is essay. This learning guide highlights this form. A persuasive essay focuses on ethos, highlighting the use of strong emotions to appeal to the reader’s value, aspiration, or fear whereas an argumentative essay persuades the reader to support a viewpoint through the inclusion of carefully selected evidence and statistics. An essay, either persuasive or argumentative, has three parts. Each part helps in encouraging readers to take the side of the writer through a written form. It always begins with an introduction, followed by the body, and the conclusion. STRUCTURE OF AN ESSAY To learn more about the parts of the essays, take a look at the example below. hook Are confidential funds really helpful for our country, or is it just an excuse for government officials to corrupt? Confidential funds, often used by government officials for surveillance and operational support, raise Additional information concerns about transparency and potential misuse. Although Vice President Sara Duterte acknowledged that while the Office of the Vice President can function without these funds, she argued they simplify their work. The public, however, remains skeptical about the substantial amounts requested, questioning the lack of transparency in how these funds are spent. Since these funds come from taxpayer money, there is a growing demand for greater public disclosure. The secrecy surrounding confidential funds has led to doubts about their proper use. Government officials should not have confidential funds because it increases the chance of corruption, declines people’s trust in government officials, and lessens the tendency to have a transparent government. Thesis statement ATHS Module for English 10: Persuasive and Argumentative Writing | 6 1. INTRODUCTION. The first paragraph of the essay is the introduction. It should begin with an interesting hook (the first sentence of the entire essay) including strong statements, quotations, statistics or facts, and rhetorical questions. Francis (2010) claimed that “a question which is posed without the expectation of an answer is called a rhetorical question”. Adding a rhetorical question is a powerful tool in persuasion. Examples of this include “Are homes with guns safer than those without them?” and “What kind of a country doesn’t ensure its citizens have access to health care?” The introduction also includes a thesis statement. After the hook, include additional explanation or information of your opening sentence. Then, the last sentence of the introduction must include your essay’s thesis statement. This is a sentence that states the writer’s claim or position about a topic. Going back to our previous topic, there is one type of claim which may be used for persuasive or argumentative essays and that is the policy claim. A thesis statement follows this format: Stand/Position/Claim because Argument 1, Argument 2, and Argument 3. Government officials should not have confidential funds because it increases the chance of corruption, declines people’s trust in government officials, and lessens the tendency to have a transparent government. claim Argument 2 Argument 3 Argument 1 Below are some more examples of thesis statements: Urban gardening must be encouraged in highly developed areas because it promotes longer-term sustainability, helps in reducing the risk of harmful conditions, and lowers the level of stress. Schools should promote journal writing among students because it boosts one’s memory, helps relieve stress, and encourages reflective thinking. 1. BODY. The body provides evidence to support the introduction. The body should consist of at least three paragraphs. Each paragraph must provide an explanation for every argument; therefore, if you presented four reasons/arguments in your thesis statement, the body should consist of four paragraphs as well. The body should have opinions, facts, examples, and explanations. Citing facts from reliable sources will make your essay more credible since your claims are supported by a piece of evidence. Therefore, it is necessary that you include facts in your essays. Study the sample body paragraph below. The second reason why confidential funds should be debarred is that they yield distrust among public officials. The decline in public trust in government is a key reason why officials should not have access to confidential funds. A 2018 Edelman Trust Barometer survey showed that in 20 out of 28 countries, trust in institutions was below 50%, with corruption being a dominant concern among the youth. Confidential funds, by nature, imply secrecy and lack of accountability, further eroding public trust. Lagarde (2018) argues that corruption involves both taking and giving money, a dynamic mirrored in the use of confidential funds. This secrecy encourages bribery and perpetuates a cycle of corruption. Ultimately, the public suffers the consequences of diminished trust in their government. In writing the body paragraph, take note of the following: ATHS Module for English 10: Persuasive and Argumentative Writing | 7  1. Begin the sentence by restating the argument/reason. In the given example above, the first argument is that it causes obesity. 2. After that, provide statistics or evidence. Evidence is facts which you must gather or obtain from reliable or credible resources. In the example, the statistics were from 2018 Edelman Trust Barometer and Legarde, sources that are trustworthy and give accurate data. Do not include facts from any website available on the internet. Be certain to check first the accuracy of the data that you will include in your essay. 3. Lastly, enhance and enrich the paragraph by providing your personal opinion and further explanation of your argument. You have to make sure that in adding evidence which bolsters your argument, you should look for accurate information from credible sources. To ensure that you include reliable evidence. You may… 1. Search JSTOR, Google Scholar, Elsevier, or other research journals. 2. Use trusted news sources like BBC, The New York Times, Rappler, Inquirer, and cross- check information. 3. Use official websites like World Health Organization (WHO), American Psychological Association (APA), or university publications for reliable data. 4. Ensure the author has relevant expertise and reputable affiliations. 5. Ensure the source aims to inform and cites reliable references. 6. Choose books from well-known academic presses. 7. Verify facts across multiple credible sources by cross-referencing information. 8. Ensure the information is current and relevant by assessing publication date. 9. Steer clear of Wikipedia or personal blogs as primary sources. In including information which are not originally yours, presenting your gathered evidence via searching on the internet, and citing sources, use the phrases: 1. According to Author (year) [example: According to Cruz (2021)] 2. In the view of Author (year) [example: In the view of Cruz (2021)] 3. As claimed by Author (year) [example: As claimed by Cruz (2021)] At the end of your output, include the References following this format: Surname, First Name Initials. (Year).

CONCLUSION. The last paragraph is called the conclusion which summarizes the position statement and leaves an impact on the readers. The conclusion should not add any reasons but should restate the position in a convincing manner. In writing the conclusion, one can use the following strategies from Walsh Publishing Co. (2009): ATHS Module for English 10: Persuasive and Argumentative Writing | 8  ✓ Call to Action where you will ask the reader to do something or to make something happen. You can pose a challenge to motivate them to do something. ▪ I challenge you to watch what you eat and to avoid fast food. ▪ Get these wonderful benefits urban gardening can offer. How about you? When will you start your Plantita journey? ✓ Provide a Solution where you can state a practical alternative or choices. ▪ Fast food doesn’t have to be “bad food.” Make better choices like salads, fruit, and low-fat treats. ▪ Instead of just spending the entire day binge watching, why don’t you try a new hobby which can give you the peace of mind you need amidst the noise of the city? Try urban gardening. ✓ Make a Prediction where you state the perceived consequences or results of their actions. ▪ If people continue to eat lots of fast food, they put their health at risk. If kids don’t make better choices today, they won’t grow into healthy adults. ▪ If your pastime is just watching Netflix and surfing the net, you will miss half of your life. If you will not develop a more profitable and advantageous habit, then you will be forever stuck in a boring cycle of life. Take a look at the concluding paragraph below. In conclusion, confidential funds, used for sensitive purposes in government, should not be implemented due to their potential for misuse and lack of transparency. These funds have been linked to corruption and misappropriation, as seen in past cases of unrecorded disbursements and non-compliance with auditing processes. The absence of transparency makes it easier for individuals to exploit these funds for personal gain. Strengthening oversight mechanisms and promoting citizen engagement are essential to ensure responsible use and prevent corruption. A transparent system builds public trust and enhances economic development. As empowered citizens, we must demand accountability to end government corruption. Pause and ponder These are the three parts of an essay. Let us pause for a while and try to remember these things. How about we test your understanding of these things through a 3-2- 1 activity? ✓ 3 – Name the three parts of an essay. ✓ 2 – Name two contents of the introduction. ✓ 1 – Name one way for you to write the conclusion. WRI-TEANG-TIME: guidelines in writing essays To continue, in writing a position essay (argumentative or persuasive), one does not just simply sit and start the writing process. There are steps that you need to know which are: 1. Pick a side/position. The writer must clearly state his/her position and stay with that position. Generally, the position is stated in the opening paragraph or introduction. Example, if you are against death penalty, then you must clearly stick to that claim from the introduction down to the conclusion. ATHS Module for English 10: Persuasive and Argumentative Writing | 9 2. Know the audience. Make sure you know who your readers are. If the readers are teenagers, use the language they can easily understand. Avoid using jargon or highly technical words because these may cause confusion on their part. Before a writer starts writing, he should be guided by these questions: Who will read the essay? Whom does the writer need to convince? Should the writer be casual or professional? 3. Research. In order to convince the readers, the writer needs more than just an opinion; he needs facts or examples to make his statements reliable. You should use evidence which will back up or support your claim. This evidence can be the result of research, studies, tests, or statistics from reliable sources. 4. Structure the essay. Start with the pre-writing stage where you will think of ideas relevant to your topic. Then, you begin with the drafting process. Start revising which means adding, deleting, reorganizing, or adding texts or statements. Next is the editing process where you check the grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. Lastly, the publishing stage where you print or produce a copy of the essay. Summary That’s it. Have you done well? As you prepare yourself for the formative test, I want you to take a look at the summary below for you to be guided. ✓ Persuasive Writing aims to convince a particular audience to change their ideas or behavior, and to convince others to support a position or policy.
