Reflection

A persuasive piece is used to convince, persuade or change the opinion of the reader about a particular issue. It is never easy to convince someone to change their mind. The challenge in this genre is to be aware of your audience, acknowledging their viewpoint, at the same time as you respectfully refute it. An effective persuasive has strong facts and solid information to support their position.The written argument is built carefully, presenting the case in a reasonable, logical manner. In other words, give the reader an opportunity to stand in your shoes and see the situation through your eyes without alienating them.

Some elements toward building a good persuasive piece include: establishing facts to support an argument; clarifying relevant values for your audience (perspective); prioritizing, editing, and/or sequencing the facts and values in importance to build the argument; forming and stating conclusions; "persuading" your audience that your conclusions are based upon the agreed-upon facts and shared values having the confidence to communicate your "persuasion" in writing.

To keep us on track in the course, we need to ask teacher for any questions we had related to the course; DO NOT leave yourself behind; DO NOT waste your time in the class. Because you are here to trade yourself with your time for literature. Last but not least, as everyone knows, if you don't prepare for any of your course, you are a failure.
