B. During the Lesson

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

- Teacher will discuss the lesson. - Students will listen and take note
important details in connection to the
lesson.

- Have you ever tried asking your parents - Yes, Ma’am!

for an increase in your allowance, or
convincing your friends to do something
for you?

- How did you convince them? - Answers may vary.

- Very good!

- If you have ever convinced someone,

then you can use this skill for the type of
essay we will be discussing today.
Persuasive writing is a type of writing
that aims at convincing people to think,
feel, or to act in the writer’s way.
Persuasive texts may be in the form of
essays in books, articles in newspapers
and magazines, posters and, of course,
advertisements.

- All these forms of persuasion try to get

the readers to agree or to take an action.

A persuasive writing usually contains:

a) the writer’s opinion, which he/she
wants the readers to accept;
b) evidence or information to support the
writer’s opinion;
c) the action that the writer wants the
readers to do.

Persuasive writing is so common that it

seems easy to do, but the writing process
is not as simple as just sharing an
opinion.
The writer needs to combine thorough
research with good word choice in order
to make his opinions believable and get
the readers to agree with him.
That is the ultimate goal, and this is why
persuasive writing is powerful.

- Let me give you an example of

Persuasive essay. Read the following.

Title: “Why Students Should Have

Longer Lunch Breaks”

In schools across the country, students

are given short lunch breaks that barely
allow them enough time to eat, let alone
relax and recharge for the remainder of
the day. This is a problem that needs to
be addressed urgently. Longer lunch
breaks would not only benefit students'
physical health but also their academic
performance and overall well-being.

Firstly, longer lunch breaks would

allow students to eat more mindfully.
Rushing through meals can lead to poor
digestion and unhealthy eating habits.
With more time, students can enjoy their
food, making healthier choices and
reducing the likelihood of obesity and
related health issues.

Moreover, longer lunch breaks provide

students with the opportunity to socialize
and de-stress. Building strong social
connections is crucial for mental health,
and lunchtime offers a valuable chance
for students to bond with their peers.
Additionally, taking a break from
academic pressure can help alleviate
stress and anxiety, leading to improved
focus and productivity in the afternoon
classes.

In conclusion, extending lunch breaks

is not just about giving students more
time to eat; it's about promoting their
overall well-being. By allowing students
to eat, socialize, and relax during
lunchtime, we can create a healthier and
happier school environment that supports
academic success.
Parts of Persuasive essay:

Introduction:
 Presents the topic and issue to be
addressed.
 Includes a hook to grab the
reader's attention.
 Provides background information
and context.
 States the writer's position or
opinion on the issue.
 Presents a clear thesis statement
that outlines the main argument
and the reasons supporting it.
Body Paragraphs:
  Each paragraph presents a
separate reason or piece of
evidence to support the thesis.
 Provides detailed explanation and
elaboration on each reason or
piece of evidence.
 Uses persuasive techniques such
as appeals to emotion, logic, or
authority to strengthen the
argument.
 Includes transitions between
paragraphs to ensure smooth flow
and coherence.
Counterarguments and Rebuttals:
 Acknowledges and addresses
potential counterarguments or
objections to the thesis.
 Presents rebuttals or responses to
counterarguments to reinforce the
main argument.
 Demonstrates an understanding of
opposing viewpoints while
reinforcing the writer's position.
Conclusion:
 Restates the thesis and
summarizes the main points made
in the essay.
 Emphasizes the importance and
relevance of the argument.
 May include a call to action or a
suggestion for further
consideration of the issue.
 Leaves a lasting impression on the
reader by reinforcing the
persuasive argument.

Here are some of the effective and

commonly used persuasive techniques
used by writers to achieve their
purpose:

1. Rhetorical Question. This is a question

that is not intended to be answered.
Instead, it is meant to state the obvious,
or to challenge the readers and to make
them think.
Example:
 "Can you imagine a world without
art?"
- This question prompts the audience to
consider the significance of art in their
lives, implying that art is essential
without explicitly stating it.
 "Who knows what the future
holds?”
- This question is not intended to elicit a
response but rather to emphasize
uncertainty and prompt contemplation
about the unpredictable nature of the
future.

2. Repetition. Repeating key words or

phrases will likely make readers
remember them.
Example:
 "The only way to do great work is
to love what you do, to love what
you do."
- In this sentence, the phrase "to love
what you do" is repeated for emphasis.
- The repetition emphasizes the
importance of loving one's work in
achieving great results.
 "We shall fight on the beaches, we
shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in
the streets, we shall fight in the
hills; we shall never surrender."
In this famous speech by Churchill, the
repetition of "we shall fight" at the
beginning of each clause creates a
powerful and rhythmic effect,
emphasizing the determination to
continue the fight.

3. Bandwagon. This is the technique that

would convince a reader to believe in an
idea because the majority or everybody
else believes it’s true.
Example:
 "Vote for Candidate X because
they are leading in the polls!"
- This statement suggests that because a
large number of people are supporting
Candidate X, you should also support
them to be on the winning side.
 "Everyone is watching this show,
you don't want to miss out!"
- This statement suggests that because a
large number of people are watching a
particular show, you should also watch it
to be part of the cultural conversation.

4. Appeal to Emotion aims to evoke an

emotional response from the audience in
order to persuade them.
For example:
 "For just $1 a day, you can feed a
hungry child."
- This appeals to the audience's empathy
and compassion for children in need,
encouraging them to donate by playing
on their emotions.
 "Think of the future we want to
leave for our children and
grandchildren. We must act now
to protect the planet."
- This statement appeals to the audience's
concern for future generations, invoking a
sense of responsibility and urgency to
take action on environmental issues.

5. Appeal to Authority a speaker or writer

uses the endorsement or support of an
authority figure or source to persuade
their audience.
Example:
 "Nine out of ten dentists
recommend our toothpaste."
- This statement suggests that because a
majority of dentists endorse the
toothpaste, it must be effective and
trustworthy.
 "According to the leading experts
in the field, this method is the
most effective way to learn a new
language."
- By referencing the opinions of experts,
this statement aims to convince the
audience that the method is credible and
reliable.

- Are you all still listening? - Yes, Ma’am!

- Okay, let us proceed to another type of

writing.
- But before we start, let me ask you a
question first.

- Have you ever encounter someone who - Yes, Ma’am!

has an opposite stand about an issue or a
particular topic?

Like for example, your classmate agrees

to abortion but you don’t agree to it.
- How do you prove your claim that - Answers may vary.
abortion should not be normalized?

- Very good! So through reasoning or

evidences, you can prove that your claim
is true.

- So, if you know how to make a stand

about your claim, then you can use this
for the next type of essay that we will be
discussing today.

- So the next type of essay that we will be

discussing is Argumentative writing.

Argumentative writing
 is a form of writing that aims to
persuade the reader to accept a
particular viewpoint or to take a
specific action.
 The primary goal of
argumentative writing is to
present a well-reasoned argument
supported by evidence, logic, and
reasoning.
 Unlike other types of writing,
such as descriptive or narrative
writing, argumentative writing
 requires the writer to take a clear
stance on a controversial or
debatable issue and to support that
stance with convincing evidence
and reasoning.

- Let me give you an example of

Argumentative essay. Read the following.

Title: “The Importance of Teaching

Financial Literacy in High School”

In an ever-evolving economic
landscape, the importance of financial
literacy cannot be overstated. Yet, despite
its critical role in navigating the
complexities of personal finance,
financial education remains sorely
lacking in many high school curricula.
This essay contends that teaching
financial literacy in high school is
essential for equipping students with the
knowledge and skills necessary to make
informed financial decisions, manage
their resources effectively, and build a
secure financial future.

Empowering Personal Financial

Responsibility: Financial literacy
education empowers students to take
control of their financial futures by
providing them with essential knowledge
about budgeting, saving, investing, and
managing debt. Equipped with this
knowledge, students are better prepared
to make informed decisions regarding
their personal finances, avoiding common
pitfalls such as overspending, accruing
high-interest debt, and failing to save for
the future. By instilling a sense of
financial responsibility early on, high
school financial literacy education lays
the foundation for sound financial habits
that can last a lifetime.

Mitigating Economic Inequality:

Financial literacy is a powerful tool for
combating economic inequality and
promoting socioeconomic mobility. By
providing students from all backgrounds
with the skills needed to navigate the
financial system effectively, financial
education can help level the playing field
and reduce disparities in wealth and
opportunity. Access to financial literacy
education empowers students to break
free from cycles of poverty, make
strategic financial decisions, and pursue
their long-term goals with confidence.

Fostering Economic Stability and

Growth: A financially literate population
is essential for fostering economic
stability and driving sustainable growth.
When individuals understand how to
manage their finances responsibly, they
are less likely to default on loans,
contribute to financial crises, or rely on
government assistance programs.
Moreover, financially literate individuals
are more likely to invest wisely, stimulate
economic activity, and contribute to the
overall prosperity of society.

Some may argue that financial literacy

education is unnecessary, as individuals
can learn about personal finance through
real-world experience or optional courses
outside of school. However, relying
solely on trial and error or extracurricular
resources places undue burden on
students and fails to ensure that all young
people receive the essential financial
knowledge they need to succeed.
Furthermore, incorporating financial
literacy into the high school curriculum
ensures equitable access to this vital
education for all students, regardless of
their background or circumstances.

In conclusion, teaching financial

literacy in high school is not merely
desirable but imperative for preparing
students to thrive in an increasingly
complex financial world. By empowering
students with the knowledge and skills
needed to make sound financial
decisions, manage their resources
effectively, and build a secure financial
future, high school financial literacy
education sets the stage for individual
prosperity, economic stability, and
societal progress. As such, it is incumbent
upon educational institutions and
policymakers to prioritize the integration
of financial literacy into the high school
curriculum, ensuring that all students are
equipped with the tools they need to
achieve financial success and fulfillment.

Parts of Argumentative essay:

1. Introduction:
 The introduction serves to
introduce the topic and provide
background information to the
reader.
 It includes a clear thesis statement
that presents the writer's main
argument or claim.
 The introduction also outlines the
scope of the essay and previews
the main points that will be
discussed in the body paragraphs.

2. Body Paragraphs:
 The body paragraphs present the
evidence, reasoning, and support
for the writer's argument.
 Each body paragraph focuses on a
single main point or piece of
evidence that supports the thesis
statement.
 The body paragraphs should
include clear topic sentences that
introduce the main point of the
paragraph and provide supporting
evidence, examples, and
reasoning to back up the claim.
  It's essential to use credible
sources and evidence to support
each argument and to address
potential counterarguments
effectively.

3. Counterargument and Rebuttal:

 In argumentative writing, it's
important to acknowledge and
address opposing viewpoints.
 A counterargument is a
perspective that opposes the
writer's main argument.
 The writer should include a
section that acknowledges
potential counterarguments and
provides a rebuttal to refute them.
 Addressing counterarguments
strengthens the overall argument
by demonstrating that the writer
has considered alternative
perspectives and can effectively
defend their position.

4. Conclusion:
 The conclusion summarizes the
main arguments presented in the
essay and restates the thesis
statement.
 It reinforces the importance of the
writer's viewpoint and provides a
final appeal to the reader.
 The conclusion may also offer
suggestions for further research or
action related to the topic.
 It should leave a lasting
impression on the reader and
effectively reinforce the writer's
main argument.

Key features of Argumentative writing

include:
1. Clear Thesis Statement:
 Argumentative writing typically
begins with a clear and concise
thesis statement that presents the
 writer's main argument or claim.
 The thesis statement should
clearly state the writer's position
on the issue and provide a
roadmap for the rest of the essay.

2. Evidence and Support:

 In argumentative writing, it's
essential to provide evidence and
support for the main argument.
 This evidence can come in the
form of facts, statistics, expert
opinions, examples, and
anecdotes.
 The writer must use credible
sources to support their claims
and effectively refute opposing
arguments.

3. Logical Reasoning:
 Argumentative writing relies on
logical reasoning to persuade the
reader.
 Writers should use sound logic
and reasoning to connect their
evidence to their main argument
and to anticipate and address
counterarguments effectively.

4. Structured Organization:
 Argumentative essays typically
follow a structured organization,
with an introduction, body
paragraphs, and a conclusion.
 The introduction presents the
thesis statement and provides
background information on the
issue, while the body paragraphs
present the evidence and
reasoning supporting the thesis.
 The conclusion summarizes the
main arguments and reinforces the
thesis statement.

5. Persuasive Language:
 Effective argumentative writing
 uses persuasive language to
engage the reader and convince
them of the writer's viewpoint.
 This may include rhetorical
devices, such as ethos (appeal to
credibility), pathos (appeal to
emotion), and logos (appeal to
logic), as well as clear and
compelling language.

Key Differences of Persuasive and

Argumentative Essay:
 Focus: Analytical essays focus on
examining and interpreting a topic
or text, while argumentative
essays focus on presenting and
defending a specific argument or
position.
 Evidence vs. Argument:
Analytical essays prioritize the
analysis of evidence, while
argumentative essays prioritize
presenting and supporting a
particular argument.
 Counterarguments:
Argumentative essays often
include a section for addressing
counterarguments and rebuttals,
which may not be present in
analytical essays.
 Purpose: Analytical essays aim to
understand and interpret a topic,
whereas argumentative essays aim
to persuade the audience to accept
a particular viewpoint.
