5. Argumentative Writing
In a piece of persuasive writing, you need reasons which act as supporting arguments – they support the central claim (position)
So, if the central claim (position) is “Schools should continue the ban on students using cell phones in school,” supporting persuasive arguments are reasons why
Logical supporting argument: A ban on cell phones in school allows students to be less distracted and more productive, so they will do better in their classes
Ethical supporting argument: A ban on cell phones in school is a fair and equitable rule because not all students own cell phones or the same quality of cell phones, therefore students will not feel unequal to others.
Emotional supporting argument: The ban on cell phones in school should be continued because it will protect students from electronic bullying and help students socialize in healthier ways through more face-to-face conversations.
