A Manifesto is a document publicly declaring the position or program of its issuer. A manifesto advances a set of ideas, opinions, or views, but it can also lay out a plan of action. While it can address any topic, it most often concerns art, literature or politics. Manifestos are generally written in the name of a group sharing a common perspective, ideology, or purpose rather than in the name of a single individual Author: Gladish G. Morada School/Station: Jaliobong National High School Division: Agusan del Norte email address: gladish.morada@deped.gov.ph It combines a sometimes violent societal critique with an inaugural and inspirational declaration of change. Although manifestos can claim to speak for the majority, they are often authored by social activists and usually linked to new ideas. (https://www.britannica.com/topic/manifesto). Two basics of writing which specialized at convincing 1. Persuasion appeals to readers’ emotions to make them believe something or take specific action. Persuasion can also use logic and evidence. Steps in Persuasive Writing State your opinion and introduce your argument. Give your reasons for your opinion. Illustrate with examples to support your opinion. Restate your opinion and your suggested solution. Example: Parents’ love which is illustrated with their sacrifices is worth recognition. They send their children to school even if they have not gone to school themselves, even if their own wants are sacrificed just to fund students’ needs. You, dear students must recognize this immeasurable love of your parents by being good in your studies. 2. Argumentation relies on logic and evidence to build a case for a specific claim. Argumentation de-emphasizes appeals to emotion. Steps in Argumentative Writing 1. Make a claim. 2. Support your claim with reasons/evidence. 3. Acknowledge the counterclaim. 4. Refute the counterclaim. 5. Conclude with strong statement. Author: Gladish G.
