Persuasive writing has two main genres:
Argument/Exposition Arguments attempt to persuade the reader to agree with a certain viewpoint and sometimes they also want action to be taken – they exhort people to take action.
Discussion Discussions present two or more perspectives on an issue and can conclude with a recommendation or prediction.
Why is learning persuasive writing important?
Persuasive texts are part of our daily lives. Children learn at an early age to express their opinion and then to consider other opinions or points of view. Television, newspapers, radio, internet, social media and magazines make strong use of persuasive texts and in our daily exchanges we use persuasive language to express opinions and try to convince others. Learning how to create systematic and ordered persuasive texts empowers young people to express an opinion, be involved in decision making and be critical users of English language
