  1. 6 Vital Persuasive Writing Elements EXIT SLIP: What is the connection between tone and author’s purpose?

  2. MAKE 6-FLAP FOLDABLE • Use a previous note-taking guide glued into the back of your notebook as an example.

  3. FRONT FOLDABLE FLAPS 1. WRITE DIRECTLY TO YOUR AUDIENCE 2. 3 APPEALING POINTS 3. USE PERSUASIVE TONE 4. ASK RHETORICAL QUESTIONS 5. ACKNOWLEDGE & REFUTE OPPOSING VIEW 6. USE STATISTICS

  4. On the Two Inside Flaps • Write the words/lines that are in red.

  5. 1. WRITE DIRECTLY TO YOUR AUDIENCE • Use their nameor • Examples: Mrs. Kidwell or Mr. Feria • If you do not know their name, try and figure out a proper title: • Examples: Mr. Commissioner, Ms. President, Sir, Madam • Doing this will help you grab them right from the start.

  6. 2. 3 APPEALING POINTS • Why should they follow or believe your opinion? • Develop points that include benefits for your audience. • Example: Mrs. Kidwell, if you agree to drop the dress code you will have far fewer referrals to write and far fewer students getting in trouble. Thus, there would less suspensions, more kids in school learning, and your students’ and school’s grade would go up!

  7. 3. USE PERSUASIVE TONE • Appeal to youraudience’s five senses. • Compliment your audience. • Use descriptive language. • Example: Dear Principal Kidwell, You have this school running in tip-top shape with all these wonderful rules you have created. I understand and appreciate all but one rule. I personally think students should be allowed to hug one another.

  8. 4. ASK RHETORICAL QUESTIONS • Questions the audience already knows the answer to. • Example: Dear Ms. Kidwell, What’s your favorite flavor of gum and don’t you want to chew it during school? Don’t you want to pop a piece of gum into your mouth and chew that sweet, minty piece of heaven? I know we do. We want to have the opportunity to chew gum in school. It helps us think, it gives us something to eat before lunch, and it provides us with energy.

  9. 5. ACKNOWLEDGE & REFUTE OPPOSING VIEW • Gives you credibility as a writer! Shows that you have some background information on the topic. • Example: I can see why some people would favor the dress code because it helps students to stay focused in school. However, the benefits of not having a dress code far outweigh the costs of having one. For instance, dress is a way students can show creativity, and with art classes dwindling because of lack of money, students need dress as an outlet!

  10. 6. USE STATISTICS • Gives your argument credibility! • Can be made up (graders know you don’t have access to research). • Remember to put in quotations and reference the source. • Example:According to Scope Magazine, “80% of kids who have fun during class also score more A’s than those students who don’t have fun.”
