When we hear the word “argument,” we

know this as a heated conversation.

However, academically speaking, it is an

attempt to persuade someone by
presenting evidence to the reader for
why it is a more favorable choice
regarding a particular issue. We persuade
people to agree with our claim using
facts. This is called argumentation.

In order to do that, we need to do

research and find evidences to support
our claim. This kind of writing is what
we call “argumentative essay.” An
argumentative essay is a written form of
argumentation.

Definition

An argumentative essay is a piece of

writing that takes a stance on an issue.
It also presents evidences for a claim in
order to let the reader know why it is
more favorable. It also shows why the
other side of an issue is unfavorable or
less favorable. It also includes, like any
other essay, an introduction and
conclusion.

In a good argumentative essay, a writer

attempts to persuade readers to
understand and support their point of
view about an issue by stating their
reasoning and providing evidence to
support it.

In writing argumentative essay,

remember TEA. In my opinion sir, no....

The following are terms related to an

argumentative essay.

Issue – an idea about which the opinions

of people are different.

Claim – a statement by an author about

an issue. A claim has a significant
amount of disagreement about it. A
claim needs supporting
arguments. A claim is also called a
position, stand, or point of view.
Argument – an idea that supports the
claim. An argument needs supporting
evidences.

Evidence – facts in the real world that

can be used to support an argument.

Examples of evidences are statistics,

data from studies, historical events,
habitual practices, and other facts that
can support an argument.

Counterargument – an idea given by

the opposing side against the claim given
in the argumentative essay.

(insert samples/snippets of persuasive

and argumentative vids)

In an argumentative essay, can you
say that the speaker or the writer is
effective if she did not persuade the
readers or the audience to agree to
his/her claim?Why?
For me, if the speaker did not achieve
his/her goal to persuade his/her readers,
then that means the speaker is not fully
efficient.

Okay, if you analyze, the goal of the
argumentative essay is to persuade the
reader to support their view on an
issue, so is the argumentative and
persuasive essay the same? Or do they
differ in some aspects?
No, argumentative and persuasive are
different from each other but there are
some aspects where the are having the
same characteristics.

Well done! Then now we will now

tackle what are the similarities and the
differences of both argumentative and
persuasive essay.
