COMPONENT 2:
In this lesson we are going to read a persuasive text
where both sides of an argument are presented – this type of
persuasive text is sometimes called a Discussion.
Like other types of persuasive texts, it generally starts
with statement of the topic. It then has paragraphs presenting
the arguments for one side (“For” or “Pros”) and then
paragraphs presenting the arguments for the other side
(“Against” or “Cons”). Sometimes there is a concluding statement
if the author wishes to take one side over the other.
