Persuasive Essay Sample

Composition

Sample Argument

Thesis: All schools should educate students not only about abstinence, but also about safe sex practices and pregnancy prevention methods.

Who is the audience?

• Religious leaders/followers who oppose sex education
• People who feel that sex education promotes sex
• People who feel that sex education prevents pregnancies and STDs

Introduction Paragraph

• Transition sentence(s) connecting hook to background
• Explain necessary background information, including the controversy (7-8 sentences).
• Transition sentence(s) preparing for the thesis
• Thesis statement – your stand on the issue.

Introduction

Sex education is important, but many students finish sex education classes with a distorted view of sexuality and without a good understanding of contraception and safe-sex practices.

Instead, children only learn that they should not have sex until they are married.

Sex education, first introduced in public schools as social hygiene education in the early 1900s, expanded in scope over several decades in an effort to reduce the rate of venereal diseases (Brown). Controversy over contraception options began in 1960 with the advent of the birth control pill (Goraliski). Curriculum in the 1970s aimed to reduce teenage pregnancy rates while awareness of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) shifted the focus to safe sex in the 1980s (Brown). The Adolescent Family Life Act in 1981 introduced abstinence-only programs that gained momentum in the late 1990s (Brown).

These programs have the good intention of persuading young people to wait until marriage before having sex, but abstinence-only programs are not achieving this goal and are flawed by the distorted and biased perspective that they promote.

All schools should educate students not only about abstinence, but also about safe sex practices and pregnancy prevention methods.

Transition to background

Background information

Transition to thesis

Rhetorical Appeals

• Effective persuasive writers use varied persuasive strategies to convince their audiences.

Rhetorical Appeals - Sample

• Statistics/facts on teen pregnancy and STDs with and without sex education
• Expert testimony on effectiveness of sex education
• True stories of teen pregnancy
• True stories of STDs
• True accounts of parents of teens affected- negatively
• Establish common ground with audience (introduction)
• Fair coverage of opposing arguments (concessions)
• Possible benefits of abstinence education
• Consideration of drawbacks of sex education

When to Counter Argue

• Counter arguments/rebuttals should appear as a quick move within a paragraph, where you imagine a counter-argument not to your main idea but to the sub-idea that the paragraph is arguing or is about to argue.
• Counter arguments may appear just after a topic sentence, or within the paragraph when a possible objection may arise.
• Not every paragraph will include a counter argument; however, make sure that all valid counter arguments to your thesis are addressed within the body of the essay.

The Turn Against

• First imagine a skeptical reader, or cite an actual source, who might resist your argument by pointing out:
• one or more disadvantages or practical drawbacks to what you propose.
• an alternative explanation or proposal that makes more sense.
• Introduce this turn against with phrases such as:
• One might object here that... or It might seem that... or It's true that... or Admittedly,... or Of course.
• State the case against you as briefly but as clearly and forcefully as you can, pointing to evidence where possible.

The Turn Back

• Return to your own argument—which you announce with a but, yet, however, nevertheless.
• In reasoning about the proposed counter-argument, you may use research to :
• Refute it, showing why it is mistaken—an apparent but not real problem;
• Acknowledge its validity or strength, but suggest why it's relatively less important or less likely than what you propose, and thus doesn't overturn it;
• Concede the force of the argument and restate your thesis in a more exact, way that takes account of the objection.

Body Paragraph

Studies show that abstinence-only programs do not reduce sexual activity by young people.

Some parents or others may object that teaching sex education to students encourages youth to engage in sexual activities.

Those in opposition believe that sex before marriage is wrong and abstinence is the only safe sex (ProQuest Staff).

However, the research overwhelmingly suggests that simply teaching students how to abstain from sex will not prevent students from engaging in sex before marriage.

In 2007, the United States Department of Health and Human Services released a study of abstinence programs.

This government-funded study involved more than 2000 students. The authors discovered that findings from this study provide no evidence that abstinence programs implemented in upper elementary and middle schools are effective in reducing the rate of teen sexual activity (“Impacts”). The authors concluded that findings indicate that youth in the abstinence-only programs were no more likely than students not in the programs to have abstained from sex (“Impacts”). In addition, among those who reported having had sex, they had similar numbers of sexual partners and had initiated sex at the same mean age (“Impacts”).

Apparently, students did not benefit from all of the effort and the millions of dollars that have gone into these programs. These ineffective programs are leaving students without the knowledge they need when they make certain choices; this type of education is failing today’s teenagers. Therefore, schools need to provide comprehensive sexual education classes.

Topic sentence

Set up evidence

Evidence #1

Paraphrase the concession

Concession Rebuttal

Another study by Peter Bearman of Columbia University shows that 88 percent of middle and high schoolers who pledge to stay virgins until marriage end up having premarital sex anyway (Kelly).

He adds that “the bad news is that they are less likely to use contraception the first time they have intercourse” (Kelly).

Although students may have good intentions in signing virginity contracts while enrolled in an abstinence program, the reality is that teaching abstinence does not prevent those students from engaging in sexual activities. While contracts like these may help students make good plans, the students also need education to help them know what to do if their plans change.

Additionally, Dr. S. Paige Hertweck, a doctor who contributed to an American Academy of Pediatrics report on teen sexual activity,

states that “teaching abstinence but not birth control makes it more likely that once teenagers initiate sexual activity they will have unsafe sex and contract sexually transmitted diseases” (“Doctors Slam Abstinence”).

In abstinence-only programs, students are taught to “just say no” to sex. They are not taught the information that they need to know about safe sex and contraception if they later choose to say “yes,” as many of them are doing. Schools need to close this gap and provide students with all the knowledge they will need in their adult lives.

Since abstinence-only programs have proven ineffective in reducing the number of young people engaging in sex, schools must provide sex education to protect students from diseases and pregnancy.

Evidence #3

Evidence #2

• Restate the thesis in different wording
• Transition, Summary of Body Paragraph #1 (2-4 sentences)
• Transition, Summary of Body Paragraph #2 (2-4 sentences)
• Transition, Summary of Body Paragraph #3 (2-4 sentences)
• Transition, Summary of Body Paragraph #4 (2-4 sentences)
• Transition, Summary of Body Paragraph #5 (2-4 sentences)
• Transition, Firmly restate your position on the issue.
• End strongly by connecting back to the hook.

Schools need to educate students on both abstinence and safe sex practices.

Sexual activity by young people is an important concern. In an ideal world, maybe everyone would wait until marriage before having sex and would then remain in a single, monogamous relationship. But this is not the reality. It might be a good goal to try to convince young people to wait until marriage before having sex, but taking this approach alone to sex education is not working. After ten years and a half of a billion dollars in federal funding, abstinence-only programs have not had a positive impact on the sexual behavior of teenagers. The programs may even cause harm because of the distorted and biased views that they promote and because of the information about safe sex and contraception that they do not teach.

It is time to put an end to abstinence-only programs and to give students more comprehensive sex-education programs that better prepare them for the future.

persuasive essay

Reference link: for order: email id: [email protected] a persuasive essay, as you may know, is a type of writing that aims to persuade the readers into believing that the argument or claim made in the essay is correct. even though there are quite a few similarities between an argumentative essay and a persuasive essay, the latter one tends to be a bit kinder and gentler. while in an argumentative essay, you need to discuss and contradict the alternate views, a persuasive essay takes a more lenient approach to convince the reader that the writer has made a believable argument. – powerpoint ppt presentation.

Can You Convince Me? Developing Persuasive Writing

• Resources & Preparation
• Instructional Plan
• Related Resources

Persuasive writing is an important skill that can seem intimidating to elementary students. This lesson encourages students to use skills and knowledge they may not realize they already have. A classroom game introduces students to the basic concepts of lobbying for something that is important to them (or that they want) and making persuasive arguments. Students then choose their own persuasive piece to analyze and learn some of the definitions associated with persuasive writing. Once students become aware of the techniques used in oral arguments, they then apply them to independent persuasive writing activities and analyze the work of others to see if it contains effective persuasive techniques.

Featured Resources

From Theory to Practice

• Students can discover for themselves how much they already know about constructing persuasive arguments by participating in an exercise that is not intimidating.  
• Progressing from spoken to written arguments will help students become better readers of persuasive texts.

Students will

• Work in cooperative groups to brainstorm ideas and organize them into a cohesive argument to be presented to the class  
• Gain knowledge of the different strategies that are used in effective persuasive writing  
• Use a graphic organizer to help them begin organizing their ideas into written form  
• Apply what they have learned to write a persuasive piece that expresses their stance and reasoning in a clear, logical sequence  
• Develop oral presentation skills by presenting their persuasive writing pieces to the class  
• Analyze the work of others to see if it contains effective persuasive techniques

Session 1: The Game of Persuasion

Home/School Connection: Distribute Persuasion Is All Around You . Students are to find an example of a persuasive piece from the newspaper, television, radio, magazine, or billboards around town and be ready to report back to class during Session 2. Provide a selection of magazines or newspapers with advertisements for students who may not have materials at home. For English-language learners (ELLs), it may be helpful to show examples of advertisements and articles in newspapers and magazines.

Session 2: Analysis of an Argument

Home/School Connection: Ask students to revisit their persuasive piece from Persuasion Is All Around You . This time they will use Check the Strategies to look for the persuasive strategies that the creator of the piece incorporated. Check for understanding with your ELLs and any special needs students. It may be helpful for them to talk through their persuasive piece with you or a peer before taking it home for homework. Arrange a time for any student who may not have the opportunity to complete assignments outside of school to work with you, a volunteer, or another adult at school on the assignment.

Session 3: Persuasive Writing

Session 4: Presenting the Persuasive Writing

• Endangered Species: Persuasive Writing offers a way to integrate science with persuasive writing. Have students pretend that they are reporters and have to convince people to think the way they do. Have them pick issues related to endangered species, use the Persuasion Map as a prewriting exercise, and write essays trying to convince others of their points of view. In addition, the lesson “Persuasive Essay: Environmental Issues” can be adapted for your students as part of this exercise.  
• Have students write persuasive arguments for a special class event, such as an educational field trip or an in-class educational movie. Reward the class by arranging for the class event suggested in one of the essays.

Student Assessment / Reflections

• Compare your Observations and Notes from Session 4 and Session 1 to see if students understand the persuasive strategies, use any new persuasive strategies, seem to be overusing a strategy, or need more practice refining the use of a strategy. Offer them guidance and practice as needed.  
• Collect both homework assignments and the Check the Strategy sheets and assess how well students understand the different elements of persuasive writing and how they are applied.  
• Collect students’ Persuasion Maps and use them and your discussions during conferences to see how well students understand how to use the persuasive strategies and are able to plan their essays. You want to look also at how well they are able to make changes from the map to their finished essays.  
• Use the Persuasive Writing Assessment to evaluate the essays students wrote during Session 3.
• Calendar Activities
• Strategy Guides
• Lesson Plans
• Student Interactives

The Persuasion Map is an interactive graphic organizer that enables students to map out their arguments for a persuasive essay or debate.

This interactive tool allows students to create Venn diagrams that contain two or three overlapping circles, enabling them to organize their information logically.
