Persuasive writing provides us with the tools needed to effectively persuade others to understand our thoughts and ideas. This document will help you learn how to write a letter to someone asking him or her to change something in the world. For example, you might write your principle about more time at lunch, or you might write the mayor of Springfield, the capital of Illinois, about the need for recycling in your community. There are three main steps to writing a persuasive letter: (1) Brainstorming (2) Outlining (3) Composing Step 1—Brainstorming Using the chart below, brainstorm some issues you would like use as possible topics for your persuasive letter. Also think about whom you would write who could influence such changes. School Community World Issue 1: Why this issue is important: Issue 1: Why this issue is important: Issue 1: Why this issue is important: Whom I would write: Whom I would write: Whom I would write: Issue 2: Why this issue is important: Issue 2: Why this issue is important: Issue 2: Why this issue is important: Whom I would write: Whom I would write: Whom I would write: From the chart above, choose a topic for your persuasive letter and write it in the space below: Now that you have chosen the topic of your letter, you are ready to outline your arguments. Your topic will give you a focus for your letter; it is important that the topic of your letter be something you are passionate about so that you can clearly describe to the audience of your letter why your issue is important.

For these questions, refer to the following section of a technical document and answer each question. Certain sentences are numbered and are referred to by number in some of the questions. Step 2—Outlining (1) Outlining your letter will help you decide how you will convince your reader to reach an agreement with you on the issue you have chosen. (2) When you out line try to decide which arguments you will use to persuade your reader and in what order you will use them. (3) You will need to be very clear in you’re arguments so that you are able to convince your audience to see things the way you do. (4) A good guideline to follow is to be sure to have at least 3 arguments to support the view you express in your letter. (5) More is not always better; it is not necessary to have 15 supporting arguments (you don’t want your reader to fall asleep), but fewer than three arguments may weaken your letter. To support the issue you have chosen, try to incorporate the three different types of arguments: • Emotional argument—An emotional argument is designed to make your audience feel passionate about your issue. Stories, experiences, and specific examples are good ways to invoke an emotional response from your reader. • Logical argument—A logical argument uses facts and evidence to convince your audience that it is “logical” to agree with you. • Ethical argument—An ethical argument appeals to the reader’s sense of what is right and wrong. In an ethical argument, you are trying to make your reader see that agreeing with you is a moral and ethical choice. Outline the arguments for your letter in the chart below: Argument 1: Supporting Facts and Examples: Argument 2: Sopporting Facts and Examples: Argument 3: Supporting Facts and Examples Possible Objections Not everyone is going to agree with you. (6) To be most effective in your letter, try to think ahead and plan for possible objections your reader may have with your view. If you address and answer these possible objections in your letter, you will be more persuasive. Outline how you will address possible objections in the table below: Possible Objection 1: My Answer: Possible Objection 2: My Answer: Now decide the order in which you will present your arguments and in which order you will address possible objections. Remember, you want to start strong and finish strong, so you may want to begin with your second best argument and end with your best reason. Be sure to include your possible objections and your answers to them before your concluding argument. Go back to your brainstorming chart and number your reasons and possible objections in the order that you will present them in your letter.
