The purpose of persuasive writing is to convince readers to share your opinion or take a particular action. To try and make your readers agree with your opinion, you build an argument based on the logical appeals of reason and evidence. You may also add emotional appeals to persuade your readers and support claims. An emotional appeal tries to use a reader’s fears, hopes, wishes, or sense of fairness to sway their opinion. In order for students to become effective persuasive writers, it’s important they investigate how purpose will influence the persuasive strategies they use in their writing.
