Persuasive writing isn’t just about being right — it’s about making readers care.

✔️ Identify specific audiences
✔️ Explain benefits to those audiences
✔️ Choose intentional emotional motivators
✔️ Connect feelings directly to a clear claim
Through scaffolded practice and structured brainstorming designs, students learn that effective persuasion helps readers not only understand the argument — but feel why it matters.
By the end of this 5-part SFA, students are writing purposeful pathos statements that target real audiences with strategic word choice.
