The Research Essay
‘3 Types of Evidence’
There are at least 2 sides to every story
In a persuasive research essay you have 2 main jobs:
1) Convince the reader your opinion is right!
2) Convince the reader that apposing opinions are not as right as yours or simply wrong
In order to do this stating only your opinion is simply not good enough
Therefore you must include evidence
There are 3 main types of evidence for a persuasive research paper
1. Statistics 2. Expert opinion (Quote) 3. Examples
Create a T-Chart
Record the Statistics, Expert Opinions & Examples that you hear and see in this video in your T-chart
Homework
There will be an upcoming test on the elements of a persuasive essay. The test will likely by on Sunday next week.
