Argumentative/ Persuasive
An author writes a persuasive/argumentative piece 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 writer selects 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.
