  1. Persuasive Writing: Introduction

  2. Today’s Warm-up September 30, 2013 What are the key points to include in your introduction paragraph?

  3. L.I.P.A. L- lead I- issue statement P-point of view A-arguments (reasons) A- Acknowledging the Opposing Point of View

  4. What is LEAD? • L- Lead • The lead of your persuasive essay hooks the reader in. • It is the first sentence of your essay. • It is focused on the topic at hand and meant to grab the readers attention. • THINK! How can I shock my reader to get their attention? • There are several different ways to create a lead. • Rhetorical Question • Statistic • Anecdote • Descriptive Segment

  5. What is Issue Statement • I=issue statement • This is where you state the issue that is being debated. • It comes right after your lead. • For example, if the issue is the board of education is deciding to give a basic skills test to pass 8th grade, your issue statement might be: • I recently heard that the Board of Education is trying to decide whether to have 8th grade students pass a basic skills test before moving on.

  6. What is Point of View? • P= point of view • This is where you state your opinion on the argument—whether you AGREE or DISAGREE with the issue. • It is usually your fourth sentence in your introduction. • It follows your issue statement. • Remember to use strong words, such as “strongly agree” or “strongly disagree” to make your point of view as solid as possible.

  7. What are my Arguments • A= arguments • Your arguments are your THREE reasons that support your point of view. • You want to make sure that your three reasons are distinct and not similar. • This is your second to last sentence in your paragraph. It follows your POV. • For example, if the issue is using technology in class and you agreed, your reasons might be: • It would allow students an easier platform to take and access notes, • Students would be able to access information with a click of the finger, • And it would allow students to become active 21st century learners.

  8. What is Acknowledging the Opposing Point of View • A=Acknowledging the opposing point of view • This is when you acknowledge or recognize the other side of the issue politely. • This is the last sentence in your introduction. • For example, if the issue is the Board of Education wants to have eighth grade students take a basic skills to move on to high school and you disagree with the issue, you might say: • I can see why you feel that a basic skills test would help indicate if students were ready to move on to the next grade level, but I will explain to you why it would only be making it a more stressful year for students.
