on 14 May 2017yeah.. but
They are nice, but it's pretty basic. there's no other information about persuasive writing, so it's not useful.

Oh my word NO!! I spend a good part of freshman year drilling into students that statements like "I believe" or "in my opinion" weaken their writing and should NEVER be used. What on earth is "I really feel that" going to add to persuasive writing? 1) State a clear position or claim. 2) Provide specific examples. 3) Explain how those examples prove the claim.

on 26 October 2015Pretty Great!
I am in high school and typing up a complex, persuasive essay. We were instructed to use "Persuasive Techniques". These sentence starters truly helped me, my essay is now more clearly a persuasive. These sentence starters are helpful, even in high school. As we go into higher grade levels, we are expected to write more, almost all classes assign essays. It is crucial to know the difference between a narrative, persuasive, and informative essay, its also crucial for your teachers and professors to know the difference in your writing. When using these sentence starters correctly and properly, it makes it clear to anybody who is reading your paper/essay/report/etc. what side you are on and it also makes it increasingly more clear to your teacher/professor that you understood their assignment and what they were looking for.
...Just wanted to make it clear that these sentence starters are indeed helpful, even for a student like myself who will be graduating soon.5 out of 5 -

I teach 9th and 10th grade. My students have used these sentence openers all through elementary and middle school, and then I have to spend two years breaking them of it. It's time to retire these.
