The aim of opinion writing, or persuasive writing, is to have your reader agree with your opinion/ point of view by the time they finish reading your work. This is a chance to use your persuasive skills, and your writing expertise to convince them that your stance on a particular issue or topic is the right one. This can be anything from your favourite ice cream flavour (mint chocolate chip!) to the political party you support.

There are 3 main ways to frame your written arguments (or reasons) that will change your readers mind:

1. Logic: using reason or common sense is one way of helping to prove why your stance on a particular issue is the right one. For example, if I wanted to persuade you that mint chocolate chip was the best ice cream flavour (it definitely is), I might say that when you eat it, you feel refreshed, which is the exact feeling you want on a hot summer day. The logic of wanting to feel refreshed on a hot summer day is the logical argument I used to make my point.

2. Emotion: pulling at the heartstrings of your audience, or "hitting them in the feels" as the kids say, is another very effective way to persuade someone to agree with you. As an example, think of the ads that you see on TV for the SPCA, or to donate money to a cause from a developing country. Showing the sad faces of pets and children make the audience feel emotional; upset and guilty, so we pick up the phone to donate.

3. Expertise: being able to speak with authority/expertise on a specific topic, is the final way to form an argument. If you are someone who does a lot of gaming, and you are trying to tell me which video game is the best in terms of quality and overall experience, I would be inclined to believe you since you know a lot about the gaming community and would be able to give accurate information.

Now that we know more about the specific ways you can argue/persuade/defend your opinion on any given topic, let's try out our new skill!

Below are some questions where I will ask you to pick ONE of two things. Your task is to tell me which one is better, and WHY. For example, use persuasive writing to tell me why Coke is better than Pepsi. Once you have done this, reread your writing and tell me if your argument was one of logic, emotion, or expertise.

Example: Hot OR Cold? Cold is always better than hot. In cold weather, you can bundle up in cute, cozy clothes, and snuggle with your pets to keep warm. In hot weather, I feel yucky and grumpy. Here, I used emotional arguments.

*Your answers will be more detailed, but I included the above just so you have an idea of what I am asking for.

*Written responses should be a paragraph EACH.

1. McDonald's OR Wendy's ?

2. Coke OR Pepsi?

3. R&B Music OR Rap Music?

4. Beach OR Cottage?

5. Pie OR Cake?

6. Chocolate OR Vanilla?

7. Bike OR Skateboard?

8. Mortal Kombat OR Call of Duty?

Choose the evidence from the text that best supports the ballerinas are graceful and beautiful. "Yup," said George. He tried to think a little about the ballerinas. They weren't really very good-no better than anybody else would have been, anyway. They were burdened with sashweights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in. George was toying with the vague notion that maybe dancers shouldn't be handicapped. But he didn't get very far with it before another noise in his ear radio scattered his thoughts.

Karishma is reading "The Tell-Tale Heart." She reads an excerpt, looks for clues, and makes a prediction about what happens next. Read the same excerpt and her prediction.

His room was as black as pitch with the thick darkness, (for the shutters were close fastened, through fear of robbers,) and so I knew that he could not see the opening of the door, and I kept pushing it on steadily, steadily.

Karishma predicted that the narrator would carry out the murder plot undetected.

Next, read the subsequent excerpt that Karishma read.

I had my head in, and was about to open the lantern, when my thumb slipped upon the tin fastening, and the old man sprang up in bed, crying out—"Who's there?"

Which revision is most logical for Karishma to make to her prediction as she continues to read?

A The narrator would carry out the murder plot undetected.
B The narrator will be seen, but not heard as the murder is committed.
C The old man becomes aware of a frightening presence in the room.
D The old man prepares for his own murder.

..Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred:
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns' he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

'Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd ?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die,
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.

Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre-stroke,
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.

When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder'd.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!
Poet Name - Alfred Lord. Tennyson

Read this passage I am mindful that only yesterday in Birmingham, Alabama, our children, crying out for brotherhood, were answered with fire hoses, snarling dogs and even death. I am mindful that only yesterday in Philadelphia, Mississippi, young people seeking to secure the right to vote were brutalized and murdered. And only yesterday more than 40 houses of worship in the State of Mississippi alone were bombed or burned because they offered a sanctuary to those who would not accept segregation.
