Essay Specifics:
Before you begin writing your essay, it would help if you created an outline to follow. The type of outline you create will depend on whether your readers primarily agree or disagree with you. Below are two examples:
Readers Primarily Agree with You
Strengthen their convictions by organizing your argument around a series of reasons backed by supporting evidence or by refuting opposing arguments point by point.
I. Present the Issue
II. Provide a thesis statement -
a direct statement of your position
III. Present your most plausible reasons and evidence
IV. Concede or refute opposing reasons or objections to your argument
V. Conclude:
Reaffirm your position
Readers Primarily Disagree with You
Begin by emphasizing common ground, and make a concession to show that you have considered the opposing position carefully and with an open mind.
I. Present the Issue:
Reframe the issue in terms of common values
II. Concede:
Acknowledge the wisdom of an aspect of the opposing position
III. Provide a thesis statement
- a direct statement of your position, qualified as necessary
IV. Present your most plausible reasons and evidence
V. Conclude:
Reiterate shared values
Whatever organizational strategy you adopt, do not hesitate to change your outline as necessary while drafting and revising. For instance, you might find it more effective to hold back on presenting your own position until you have discussed unacceptable alternatives. or you might if find a more powerful way to order the reasons for supporting your position.

Writing the Persuasive Essay
What is a persuasive/argument essay?
In persuasive writing, a writer takes a position FOR or AGAINST an issue and writes to
convince the reader to believe or do something
Persuasive writing, also known as the argument essay, utilizes logic and reason to show that
one idea is more legitimate than another idea. It attempts to persuade a reader to adopt a
certain point of view or to take a particular action. The argument must always use sound
reasoning and solid evidence by stating facts, giving logical reasons, using examples, and
quoting experts.
When planning a persuasive essay, follow these steps
1. Choose your position. Which side of the issue or problem are you going to write about,
and what solution will you offer? Know the purpose of your essay.
2. Analyze your audience. Decide if your audience agrees with you, is neutral, or
disagrees with your position.
3. Research your topic. A persuasive essay must provide specific and convincing
evidence. Often it is necessary to go beyond your own knowledge and experience. You
might need to go to the library or interview people who are experts on your topic.
4. Structure your essay. Figure out what evidence you will include and in what order you
will present the evidence. Remember to consider your purpose, your audience, and
your topic.
The following criteria are essential to produce an effective argument
• Be well informed about your topic. To add to your knowledge of a topic, read
thoroughly about it, using legitimate sources. Take notes.
• Test your thesis. Your thesis, i.e., argument, must have two sides. It must be
debatable. If you can write down a thesis statement directly opposing your own, you
will ensure that your own argument is debatable.
• Disprove the opposing argument. Understand the opposite viewpoint of your position
and then counter it by providing contrasting evidence or by finding mistakes and
inconsistencies in the logic of the opposing argument.
• Support your position with evidence. Remember that your evidence must appeal to
reason.
Parts of the Persuasive Essay
1. The Introduction
The introduction has a "hook or grabber" to catch the reader's attention. Some
"grabbers" include:
1. Opening with an unusual detail: (Manitoba, because of its cold climate, is not thought of as
a great place to be a reptile. Actually, it has the largest seasonal congregation of garter
snakes in the world!)
2. Opening with a strong statement: (Cigarettes are the number one cause of lighter sales in
Canada!)
3. Opening with a Quotation: (Elbert Hubbard once said , "Truth is stronger than fiction.")
4. Opening with an Anecdote: An anecdote can provide an amusing and attention-getting
opening if it is short and to the point.
5. Opening with a Statistic or Fact: Sometimes a statistic or fact will add emphasis or interest
to your topic. It may be wise to include the item's .

Classical Argument
Persuasion and ArgumentPersuasion is the process of drawing conclusions and getting others to accept them and act upon them.Argumentation is the process of drawing conclusions after looking at both sides of an issue and getting others to accept one side based upon logic and careful exploration of facts.
Rhetoric and AudienceRhetoric is the “art of speaking or writing effectively”It is a set of skills used in college and in the business world Effective communication is an important skill in the work forceEffective communication gets our point across without embarrassment for ourselves or others. Effective communication understands what the audience does and does not know about the topic.
Aristotle’s Appeals: Ethos, Logos, and PathosAristotle was a student of Plato. Later, he was a teacher for Alexander the Great. He identified three appeals that can be used to persuade others. Ethos=ethics. Logos=logic. Pathos=emotion
Ethos=Ethics, CredibilityAs a writer, you will establish your credibility through careful research. Articles from experts in the field of study will help you build your ethos in the paper. An advertisement using ethos would be a McDonald’s commercial stating the number of years in business (hence they know how to make a decent hamburger). A car dealership might also state how long they have been at the same location. Or, the dealership might make sure you know“ 2013 Time Dealer of the year award nominee for being among the nation’s most successful auto dealers who also demonstrate a long-standing commitment to community service” (Fuson Automotive).
Logos=LogicWhen using logos in an argument, we provide facts, statistics, evidence, and reason. An automobile commercial stating the vehicle gets x mpg is proving a logos appeal. When gas prices climb, auto makers want to highlight how many miles per gallon the car can travel. Therefore, a car advertised as getting 40 mpg would appeal to a consumer who travels a distance of 40 miles to and from work. If the reader finds the evidence given “logical” it will appeal to the reader.
Pathos=EmotionA pathos appeal will tap into human emotions. Some commercials are deliberately funny and are geared to draw us to the restaurant or product being advertised. From about mid-January until February 14, TV ads focus on how we should tell our “significant” other “I love you.” Commercials such as the “Sandals Resort” plays to adults who want a romantic get-away. We are frequently told ...

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

2. Quickwrite:
What is your experience with writing
persuasive essays?
If you have never written one, have you
ever tried to convince someone to act a
certain way or do something?
If so, what techniques did you use? What
kind of argument did you make?
3. Persuasive Writing
In persuasive writing, a writer takes a
position FOR or AGAINST an issue and
writes to convince the reader to BELIEVE
or DO something.
4. Where do you find Persuasive
Writing?
In advertisements to get the reader to buy a
product
In newspapers, magazines, essays and other texts
to get the reader to accept a point of view
In speeches, petitions, and political cartoons to
convince readers to believe a certain political
viewpoint
On blogs, webpages, and social media sites to
convince the reader to subscribe to or follow the
author
6. What are some topics that you
make, argue, or debate over?
Examples:
Students should be required to go to
school all year.
The United States troops should leave Iraq.
Come up with at least 5 topics that have
opposing views that interest you.
7. Persuasive Arguments
Should have the following:
A claim
Evidence Supporting the claim (reasons)
An opposing viewpoint with counter-
arguments
A conclusion
8. Making a Claim
A writer must express an opinion to turn a
topic into a claim. For example, if your
topic is “school start time,” then a possible
claim could be “school should start later
in the day.” Remember that your claim
has to be arguable, meaning it needs to
have at least two sides.
9. Thesis statements or claims
avoid the following:
• the first person (I believe, In my opinion, etc.)
• unclear language (It seems, etc.)
• attempting two topics at once (even if they
seem related). Pick one and stick with it.
• just stating a fact - A thesis is something you
plan to make an argument about.
10. Claim Opposing Viewpoints
School should start
later in the day.
FOR Starting later will allow more
sleep for students. Rested
students are good students.
AGAINST Starting later will take away
time from after-school
activities.
Example:
11. Now you write a Thesis Statement
Step 1: TOPIC
State the topic under consideration:
energy drinks
12. Now you write a Thesis Statement
Step 2: ISSUE
State the specific issue in the form of a
debating proposition (for something).
The issue usually answers the question
“what?” What about energy drinks?
Energy drinks should be banned.
13. Now you write a Thesis Statement
Step 3: Position + Rationale ( because-
clause)
Your topic and issue = your position.
Now, using a because-clause.
Energy drinks should be banned
because they are not FDA approved.
14.
15. Persuasive Techniques
People aren’t always logical. Emotion can
play a key role in decision- making. That’s
why writers and speakers use persuasive
techniques, or methods that are intended
to sway people’s feelings and actions.
Appeals by Association
Emotional Appeals
Loaded Appeals
16. Appeals by Association
Link an idea or a product to something or
someone positive or influential
Bandwagon Appeal
Taps into people’s desire to belong
Testimonial
Uses celebrities or satisfied customers to
persuade
Transfer
Connects a product, a candidate, or a cause
with a positive image or idea
18. Emotional Appeals
Use strong feelings, rather than facts, to
persuade
Appeal to Pity
Taps into people’s compassion for others
Appeal to Fear
Preys upon people’s fear for their safety
Appeal to Vanity
Uses flattery to win people over
20. Loaded Language
Uses words with strongly positive or
negative associations
Words with Positive Associations
Call up favorable images, feelings, or
experiences
Words with Negative Associations
May bring to mind unpleasant images,
feelings, or experiences; often create a
sense of distrust or unease
26. Organization:
What do you notice about the structure of
the essay? How does it begin? What is
included in the body paragraphs? How
does the essay end?
27.
28.
