8-1 Discussion: Persuasive Writing

In this course, you worked on analyzing another writer's choices. In your final essay, you also made your own writing choices to convey your analysis and findings to your audience. In your next composition course, ENG 123, you will build on these analytical skills to make your own writing choices. In ENG 123, you will learn how to make persuasive writing choices.

Persuasion is the act of communicating in order to get your audience to agree with your point of view. Appeals to logic, reason, and credibility are most appropriate for persuasive writing in organizations, though appeals to emotion may be effective in limited circumstances. Persuasive Argument is writing that is designed to convince an audience to adopt the writer's point of view rather than to strictly inform or express a feeling

Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful towards your peers and instructor in your discussion post and replies.

Create one initial post and follow up with at least two response posts.

For your initial post, address the following:

1. Describe what you think are the elements of an effective argument.

2. Indicate how you think you might use specific writing styles or choices you learned about this term to create effective arguments.

For your response posts, address the following:

1. Offer ideas on how the writing styles or choices your peer has presented might be strengthened in a persuasive writing context.

2. Offer additional persuasive writing styles or choices your peer might consider. Please explain them in your response.

Remember, this assignment is graded on the quality of your initial post and at least two response posts to your classmates.
