Question:

• From the lesson, write the difference of Informative, Persuasive and Argumentative writings in your own words. Write your answer on the column below.

Answer:

Informative:

• You are stating the facts, often backed by scientific research or other references to opinions by acknowledged experts. There is no attempt to sway others to your point of view, and in fact you do not even give your own view.

Persuasive:

• You are doing your best to convince other to support your own view of the situation. You use logical and emotional argument to show why what you are saying is right.

Argumentative:

• You are stating the pros of your side and the cons of the other side, doing you best to put the other side in its place. Most of the focus will be on why the other perspective is wrong.
