  1. Your Persuasive Essay Vantage Writing 2012

  2. Your Intro • Count your sentences. You are going for 8 or more. • What goes in it? Our intro ideas! • Imagine….. • Big Idea (dangerous, luxury, survival, essential, etc.) • An Anecdote – a little emotional story to grab your reader. (how about for the dangerous animal one a little story about how a child got hurt by a dangerous animal/a child got well because of the love of a pet?)

  3. Example Intro StoryRemember to be Emotional! • A lonely teenager sits in his room, doodling on a yellow legal pad, aimless and bored. He stares out the window for what seems like a long, long time. Finally he sighs and heads to the kitchen for a snack. Glancing into the refrigerator, he sees nothing enticing, so closes the door and sits at the table, his head in his hands thinking for the millionth time “where oh where did I leave my Ipod?”. With no music for three days, the boy is sinking, sinking, sinking. Why is this happening? It is only music, after all. Yet, this shows that it is so much more. Music is essential for survival because it gives meaning, purpose and emotion to life.

  4. Thesis! • Firm position! No waffling! No maybes or a little bit of this and a little bit of that! • Music is/is not essential for survival because _______________ and ______________. • The class the school should add is __________ because ______________ and _________. • Expensive clothes are/are not worthwhile because ____________ and ______________. • The most rewarding occupation would be ___________ because ______________ and __________________.

  5. Your body paragraphs • AS USUAL! These should be in shaping sheet format: tscdcmcmcdcmcmcs • The difference is that for your CD, you may use any kind of statistic, fact or quote instead of a direct quote from a book. • Make sure you are using the persuasive techniques of preponderance of evidence and emotional appeal! Use those words we wrote down!

  6. Your conclusion • Call to Action! Must have #1 what the reader should specifically DO and #2 a time frame to do it in. • Yes! The wiener schnitzel is the Emperor of Hot Dogs, the Father of Franks, and the CEO of Sausages. Because of its uniqueness and dependability, every human alive should eat a wiener schnitzel each day on this planet. Go now. Go to the local grocery store and stock up on this delightful treat. If the store does not have wiener schnitzel, stage a protest and make enough noise that this neglectful establishment crams the shelves with the sensational schnitzel. • Again, do not use the word YOU.
