Even if there is a mention of the opposing viewpoint, by not developing its reasons with evidence—the piece is considered persuasive. ARGUMENT: The author develops multiple sides of an issue. Meaning, the writer not only states that there is an opposing viewpoint, but he devotes multiple sentences and paragraphs to explaining the validity of it. Topics/perspectives PERSUASIVE: The author presents one side of a debatable topic.

Meaning, the writer not only states that there is an opposing viewpoint, but he devotes multiple sentences and paragraphs to explaining the validity of it. Organization/Structure PERSUASIVE: Traditional instruction encourages starting with the strongest reason [up to the weakest]. A more powerful approach would be to leave the reader pondering the best reason. To create this effect, present the reasons in a 2-3-1 order. This organization allows students to start with a solid first reason and save their best for last. ARGUMENT: This more sophisticated genre also has 3 (or more) reasons presented within the body. However, there is the added challenge of incorporating the counterclaim with an argumentative versus a persuasive piece.  Audience/Pov PERSUASIVE: Academic writing—including persuasive—typically avoids using first- person I and second-person you. However, there are exceptions in some persuasive writing. ARGUMENT: Argumentative writing is much more formal. There is no relationship between the writer and reader. Thus, it is always written using third-person pronouns  Audience/Pov PERSUASIVE: Academic writing—including persuasive—typically avoids using first- person I and second-person you.

ARGUMENT: It’s not that argumentative writing lacks voice. Rather, the tone is simply not as outwardly passionate as the one-sided persuasive. Always take 01 Research on the topic note: 02 Align to a position 03 Develop reasons 04 Present your evidence PERSUASIVE & ARGUMENTATIVE WRITING QUESTIONS SO FAR?  Learning Objectives I can distinguish persuasive 01 writing from argumentative writing I can evaluate passages as 02 persuasive or argumentative based on their distinction
