Going, Going GreenConnect to the Persuasive Essay Persuasive writing tries to convince the
readers to think, feel or act in a certain way. Whenever you read an ad or watch a TV commercial, you are seeing persuasive writing at work.
With a partner brainstorm a few of these types of persuasive writing and discuss.

about the effects of climate change on the sports world. In the recent past, alarming changes in weather patterns have been observed.
Cities that traditionally had long, snowy winters have started having shorter, warmer winters.
Glaciers have been melting, causing the water levels of oceans to rise.

Literary Element – Text Structure Text structure is the pattern of organization
a writer uses. In persuasive essays, the text is often structured around an argument—the writer’s opinion on an issue or a problem. An argument may also be called a proposition. The writer usually offers an argument at the beginning of the essay and then provides support for his her or her claim—details that back up the writer’s stand.

Reading Skill – Analyze Evidence Whenever you tell someone to “prove it,”
you are asking for evidence. Evidence is detailed information showing that an idea is reasonable or well-founded. When you analyze evidence, you look closely at the facts and reasons that a writer presents to support his or her claim.

Thesis statement A thesis statement is a sentence or two that
states the main idea of the essay. On page 518, read the first paragraph to
yourself. Can you identify the thesis statement? Can you tell me what the entire essay is
going to be about from reading that paragraph?
If you answered YES then you are correct!

Analyzing Evidence Now that you have identified the thesis
statement, as you are reading each time you read any evidence that supports this statement jot it down.

As you read… Ask yourself, “Is this cause worth fighting
for?” Ask yourself, what is the writer’s argument?
In what ways does the writer support his argument?
Ask yourself, does the information truly support the writer’s position? Does the writer provide enough information to prove his point?
