Very good observation, Karen. Thank you.

How about you Liza, what did you observe or

Very good! So, this afternoon, we will be

link https://www.menti.com/sgmaqrqhmj so
that you can join me on mentimeter.

Directions: Give words that describe a

persuasive text.

B. Analysis
Now, let us proceed to our main topic which is
a “Persuasive Text”.

What is persuasive text?

A persuasive text is any text which the main
purpose is to present a point of view and seeks
Yes, Melgen? to persuade a reader.

Precisely! A persuasive text is any text which

the main purpose is to present a point of view
and seeks to persuade a reader. Now you see, a
key element of a persuasive text is to persuade.
Also, a persuasive text can be an argument,
exposition, discussion, review, or an
advertisement.

Am I clear, class?
Yes, ma’am.
What do you think are the features of
persuasive text?
Yes, Janice?
I think ma’am one of the features of a
persuasive text is thesis statement and I don’t
know the other features ma’am.
Alright! That is correct, Janice. Thesis
statement is one of the features of a persuasive
text. Now, let us discuss the features of a
persuasive text one by one.

First, Clear Thesis Statement. What do you

think is the meaning of thesis statement?
Yes, Keirlstein?
A thesis statement is a concise summary of the
main point.

Very good! That is right. Otherwise, it tells the

reader how you will interpret the significance
of the subject matter under discussion. It is
usually a single sentence near the beginning of
your paper (most often, at the end of the first
paragraph) that presents your argument to the
reader.

Example:

High school sports have powerful

influence to every student in different ways.

Am I clear, class?
Yes, ma’am.

That is great!

In a persuasive text class, notice that the thesis

statement is found in the first sentence of
introductory paragraph.

The second feature of a persuasive text is

Supporting Ideas and Arguments. What do you
think is the meaning of supporting ideas and
arguments?
Yes, Yvonne. Do you have an idea?
 Yes, ma’am. Supporting ideas and arguments
have a clear and direct connection with the
main ideas.
Amazing, Yvonne! This can be statistics, facts,
examples, or quotations needed to support the
main argument. The supporting ideas are more
focused on arguments that bolster the main
ideas. In general, they are backed-up by
evidence or illustrated by examples.
Do you understand, class?
Yes, ma’am.

Alright! So, the third feature is a clear

organization or structure.
Who has an idea of a clear organization or
structure?
Yes, Windy?
Clear organization or structure should have
clear lines that will understand easily by the
readers.
Precisely! A paragraph or the topic uses a
Clear Organizations or Structure that builds
logically from one point to the next.
Am I clear, class?
Yes, ma’am.

Leading to a Definite Conclusion. Usually, it

uses transition words or phrases that show how
ideas are connected. This means that you need
transition words.
Kindly read, Jonathan.
Examples:
For emphasis, you can have:
o Clearly
o Definitely
o Indeed
o Absolutely

For addition:
o Moreover
o Furthermore
o Also
o Too
o In addition

For contrast:
 o Unlike
o Nevertheless
o Contrary to

For order:
o Finally
o Subsequently
o First
o Second
Thank you, Jonathan. So, these are some
examples of transition words class that are
needed to show how ideas are connected.

Alright! So, the fourth feature of a persuasive

text, it usually composed in three parts,
Introduction, Body, and Conclusion.

We have here an example. Please read,

Kenneth.
Example:
High school sports have a powerful influence
to every student in different ways. Sports are
considered an effective way for students to
maintain health. The students who are active in
sports can get the most out of their high school
years. There are many reasons why sports
influence students. Some of the reasons are
health, teamwork, and self-discipline.
Thank you, Kenneth.

The introductory paragraph class begins with

the thesis statement which states that “High
school sports have a powerful influence to
every student in different ways”.
There are three reasons expounded in three
paragraphs, health, teamwork, and self-
discipline.

Here is an example of a body. Kindly read,

Angel.
Example:
Sports and health are heavily connected.
Exercises help burn calories in the body and
reducing the chances of obesity. The stress
caused by exercise on the muscles, bones,
ligaments, and tendons makes the students
 strong and healthy.

Teamwork is a key to success. In sports, a

student should have to collaborate with other
team members to win the same with academic
success.

In sports, the student has to follow the rules.

He/she has to obey his/her coach, while other
students are lazy thinking of drugs and alcohol,
a student who is active in sports is training, and
he/she has no time for illegal drugs and some
destructive addictions.

Thank you, Angel.

Lastly, the conclusion of the persuasive text
class should repeat the main purpose of the
text.

I will show you again the introduction of our

persuasive text.

High school sports have a powerful influence

to every student in different ways. Sports are
considered an effective way for students to
maintain health. The students who are active
in sports can get the most out of their high
school years. There are many reasons why
sports influence students. Some of the reasons
are health, teamwork, and self-discipline.

How did the writer restate this in the

conclusion?
Yes, Jessie?
Expected answer:
High school sports have a significant influence
on students. Sports would help the students
become healthy and fit. The students who are
active in sports would also develop teamwork
skills and self-discipline, which are both
essentials for life’s success.

Wow! That is great! Do you understand our

discussion today, class?
Yes, ma’am.
Very good!
C. Abstraction

What is a persuasive text all about?

Yes, Karen!
A persuasive text is any text which the main
purpose is to present a point of view and seeks
to persuade a reader.

Very good, Karen!

What are the features of persuasive text?
May I call Yvonne to answer this question?
The features of persuasive text are thesis
statement, supporting ideas and arguments,
clear organizations or structure, and definite
conclusion.
Amazing!
So, what is a thesis statement? Yes, Kenneth.
A thesis statement is a concise summary of the
main point.
That is great! A thesis statement is a concise
summary of the main point.
How about supporting ideas and arguments?
Supporting ideas and arguments can be
statistics, facts, examples, and quotations
needed to support the main argument.
Precisely!
What about clear organizations and structure,
what does it mean?
Yes, Janice?
Clear Organizations or Structure builds
logically from one point to the next.
Very good!
How about a definite conclusion, what is being
used by a definite conclusion?
Can I have Jessie to answer this question?
A definite conclusion uses transition words.
Absolutely!
Can you give examples of transition words?
Examples of transition words are:
For emphasis, clearly and definitely.
For addition, moreover and furthermore.
For contrast, unlike and nevertheless, and for
order, first and second.
Wow! Very good!
So, do you have questions, class?
 None, ma’am.

If none, let us now proceed to our activity this

afternoon.
