The document outlines the TEEL strategy for structuring persuasive writing. It involves: 1) Choosing a topic sentence (T) that introduces the topic being argued, such as how poverty can lead to malnutrition. 2) Providing evidence and examples (E) to prove the point, like statistics on how many children suffer from malnutrition each year. 3) Evaluating (E) the arguments by explaining the meaning and implications, possibly using rhetorical questions. 4) Linking (L) the work together and transitioning to the next topic or paragraph to provide coherence. The TEEL strategy provides a clear structure for persuasive writing.

Persuasive text When writing persuasive text, it is important you structure your work properly. There are a lot of ways you can plan out your work before you start. We are going to use the strategy called T E E L today.
Step 1: Choose a topic
T T stands for topic sentence, you need to think of a topic that you are going to base your persuasive text on. It is important that you have a clear understanding of the topic. Example... Poverty can lead to people suffering from malnutrition, which is caused by lack of access to food that sustains life.
Step 2: Show evidence and examples of this issue
E E is for evidence or example - you need to provide evidence and examples of your issue. Remembering you are here to prove a point and win over the readers in some way. Use facts that are interesting that are going to catch the readers attention. Example... 170 million children across the world are affected by malnutrition every year. In addition, 56% of deaths of children in Third World countries are attributed to lack of access to food.
Step 3: Evaluate the piece of writing
E E is for evaluation and explanation, you need to sum up your arguments or facts, using appropriate wording like: therefore, consequently, this means that. Explain what it means, you may even use a rhetorical question to be convincing Example: This mean that over half of the suffering of children in countries like Africa is due to not having enough to eat.
What is a rhetorical question? It is a question that you aren't really supposed to answer. Example: Do you need all the food piled on your plate everyday? Yes, and so do all the children in Africa but they have none. Something needs to be done.
Step 4: link up your work
L L stands for links. At the end of your writing you need to link up your work. Make sure it makes sense when you link it up, and that it relates to the next topic/paragraph Example... This is not the only problem affecting poverty at the moment, pollution that leads to the spreading of diseases is also something that needs to be addressed.
