From the given options in #9, what is the writer’s stand about the issue on corporal punishment? A. He is against it because he has experienced it when he was a child. B. He is against it because of its many negative effects on the child. C. He supports it because it can make children comply. D. He supports it because experts say it is effective.

- It usually ends with a call to action.
- Diane Dimond wrote on her blog, <And once robbed of their self-esteem, they can suffer from mental and physical problems, drop out of school and even commit suicide.= No one likes the way insults feel, and this is why bullies are criminals.
- Slow internet speed in the Philippines is a problem in ensuring quality education. The country fell six notches to 121 out of 139 countries, its 12. mbps far below the global average of 30 mbps; this is why Filipino learners cannot keep up with international standards.
Persuasive Writing
####### What’s In
Writing is probably the most difficult and uninteresting activity for most students, especially when they need to meet a certain number of word count for the write-ups that they need to submit. They are usually at a loss for words, or they struggle with organizing the information into a cohesive essay, probably due to not having read enough. But while writing may seem a challenging task or a difficult skill to master, its uses and benefits are vast.
There are different writing styles that are worth learning, and two of the most common are persuasive and argumentative writing. These two may seem similar; however, they differ in terms of purpose, tone, style among others. For instance, persuasive texts aim to convince readers to agree with the writer’s opinions or to act the way he wants them to, but an argumentative essay lets the readers choose which side to agree with.
You may not be aware but you are often involved in acts of persuasion and argumentation, be it with your friends, parents, teachers or other people. In the following lessons and activities in this module, you will learn to polish your persuasive and argumentative skills and apply them to compose well-written texts under each style.
Here are some of the effective and commonly used persuasive techniques used by writers to achieve their purpose.
- 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. For example: Wouldn’t you do everything to make your family happy?
- Repetition. Repeating key words or phrases will likely make readers remember them.
- 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. For example: Nine out of 10 students got higher grades because of the modular learning setup.
- Appeal to Emotion . The use of emotive language can help sway the readers to side with the writer or to do what he says. For example: Be thankful that you have more than what you need. Others children do not even have a roof above their head, but they study harder than anyone.
- Appeal to Authority . The writer needs to establish himself as an authority in the topic he is writing about by using facts, figures, and other proofs that would support his opinions or claims.
From these techniques mentioned, it is evident that the writer would usually use a passionate, personal or emotional tone when addressing the readers. Take note also that writers usually use two or more of these techniques when composing a persuasive text to add impact to their statements, but they should first know their audience or target readers in order to identify the best techniques that would work. For instance, when writing to persuade a group of professionals, emotive language may not work as effective as it would to a group of teenagers.
Knowing these techniques does not necessarily mean being able to write a good essay. The structure is equally important. The structure of most persuasive essays follow a rather simple format.
One paragraph introduction that presents the topic and the writer’s stand or opinion about it.
At least one body paragraph that presents further explanation, as well as evidence or proof that would support the writer’s opinion
One concluding paragraph that summarizes or repeats the opinion, or calls the reader to action based on that opinion
Activity 3: Recognize Me?
Read the following paragraphs lifted from Marla Manlapig’s < What’s to blame for the low reading comprehension of the Filipino youth?= (CNN Philippines, April 21, 2020). Afterwards label each paragraph according to the parts of a persuasive writing. Choose from the options given below.
<Our students do not know how to process the text,= opined Frederick Perez, current president of the Reading Association of the Philippines.
The dismal performance of the Philippines in the 2018 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) sends the message that the country’s educational system need to take reading instruction seriously, particularly in upskilling teachers and developing effective materials for reading instructions.
The PISA report also revealed that expenditure per student in the country is 90 percent lower than the global average, and this limited funding results in the absence of viable teaching materials. This hampers the ability of each student to learn and comprehend the materials presented.
The reading problem is a national issue, so there has to be an immediate evaluation of the curriculum. Also, the government must consider allocating more funds to the education sector to make possible the training of teachers, as well as the creation and evaluation of teaching and learning materials.
Moreover, the Department of Education should develop materials that would introduce the learners to expository texts which deal with information. Filipino learners performed poorly in the PISA because the test is mostly made up of expository texts and calls for the processing of information, and they are not prepared for it.

####### What is It
In one of your previous modules for this Quarter, you were introduced to the essentials of an argument essay. Here in this lesson, you will revisit the concepts and further your learning by getting familiar with some argumentative writing styles.
Argumentative writing is a type of writing wherein the writer aims at presenting an issue (be it scientific, political, social, etc.) and then taking side or making a stand, which he will have to support by giving proof or evidence. This task requires that the writer read about the topic and research about evidence (e., statistics, statement of experts, legal documents).
As mentioned in earlier, it is quite similar with persuasive writing in some aspects, but argumentative texts adopt a fair, formal and reasonable tone; hence, emotive appeal do not play a significant role here. In terms of structure, argumentative essays should have a straightforward structure so they are easy for readers to follow.
####### What’s New
To make sure that the content of each paragraph has substance, here are some argumentative writing techniques or tips outlined from Sarikas (2019) and other sources:
Make your thesis crystal clear. Readers should be able to pinpoint immediate what your thesis statement is; otherwise, it would make your essay weak. Make it stand out by putting it in the first paragraph of your essay.
Use evidence to support your side. For every point that you make, make sure you have facts to back it up. This not only makes your essay stronger, but it also helps you build your authority or credibility as a writer.
Show why the other side is weak. The best argumentative essays are not that focuses only on their side but those that present opposing arguments and then countering them. This tells the reader that the writer has really considered all sides and found out which is better.
Use logical connectors. Knowing the right words or phrases to use plays an important part in making sure that all the contents of the essay are organized. Therefore, make sure to use where appropriate some logical connectors such as however, on the other hand, consequently, therefore, and so on.
Body paragraphs – This part comprises at least three paragraphs that contains reasons and evidence (such as examples, research, statistics, statements from an authority, etc.) that back up your claim.
Counterargument – This paragraph is still part of the body, but it is reserved for acknowledging opposing claims and then refuting them to further support your side or stance.
Conclusion – This is a one-paragraph part that restates your thesis and summarizes all of the arguments. Here, no other arguments should be introduced anymore.
Introductory paragraph – This part should provide an outline of the topic, the background information needed to understand your argument, the evidence you will present, and your thesis statement. (A thesis statement is a clear, concise, one-sentence summary of your main point and claim.)
