Changing Perspectives: An Engaged Approach to Persuasive Writing

Mirial Burton

The purpose of all writing is to change the reader's perspective, and this resource teaches students how to do it. Students learn to analyze their readers and build arguments with the DACC model (Data, Analysis, Conclusion, Connection), using the rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos and avoiding logical fallacies. They move from the writing process and the five-paragraph essay to argument essays, rhetorical analysis, fiction and poetry analysis, researched arguments, and essay exams, with editing for style and accuracy at every step. Students finish able to read critically, write to academic standards, and persuade with evidence that fits their audience.
