influence and convince your reader through writing.
After going through this lesson, you are expected to compose a persuasive essay on self-selected topic.
D. Development (Time Frame: 5 minutes)
A persuasive essay is a piece of academic writing where you use logic and reason to show that your point of view is more
valid than any other. Knowing how to write persuasively and learning how to recognize persuasive writing are both valuable
skills for learners to have.
In writing a persuasive essay, you express your opinion clearly and strongly, and support it to persuade
or convince others. You will start with a point of view in the introduction, and restate it in the conclusion.
There are a few simple guidelines to follow in order to be able to write a good persuasive essay. Simply follow
the OREO pattern of writing to help you remember the structure of a persuasive essay.

Learning Task 1
Directions: Read and analyze the short persuasive essay example below. Answer the questions in your notebook.

Trip Down Memory Lane

Sarah Bianca V. Sarita

How would you feel if you’re a young child again? No pile of homework, problem, and heartache. Everything just
seems bright and perfect. If given a chance, I would go back to my childhood years.
I believe childhood is the best period of life. It is the era of innocence. It is more on happiness instead of sorrow. Do
you still remember when there was always a smile on our faces as the wind brushed through our hair? Or the different kinds
of pain when we fell on our bicycles? The sweet agony, indeed. At least we learned to continue moving forward. Likewise,
the feeling of victory when we finally reached the largest fruit after several attempts of climbing the mango tree. Those
were the days when simplicity brings so much contentment.
I am certain that childhood is the greatest stage of our life because we used to run and play like there’s no tomorrow.
Countless street games surely marked our hearts, not just our knees and elbows. The warmth of the sun could not stop us
from beating our opponents, especially if it was a heated match. But our excitement grew more when raindrops started
to wet the grass. It meant something else; an unexplainable feeling. We just enjoyed every moment of our life. Being a
child also means forgiving and forgetting. We might have fights but we tend to forgive and forget easily.
Without a doubt, childhood will always be the best; so much glee and serenity.

Questions:

1. What is the sentence that shows how the author feel about the topic?
2. What are the reasons of the author about the topic?
3. What are the sentences that show examples that prove why the author is right?
4. How did the author state the reasons and examples? What are the signal words that were used?
5. How did the author conclude the persuasive essay?
