About Standard #1
In argument writing the writer presents a claim and supports it with evidence in an attempt to change the reader’s point of view, bring about some action on the reader’s part, or to ask the reader to accept the writer’s explanation or evaluation of a concept, issue or problem (p. 23, CCSS-ELA Appendix A). Writing an argument is different than traditional persuasive writing. Persuasive writing depends on the writer-reader relationship, in that the author works to develops his/her credibility and character, and tries to appeal to the reader through connecting to interests, beliefs, character, or emotions. However, in an argument, the writer seeks to convince an audience based on the merit and reasonableness of claims and evidence.
