Show transcript
Take a clear stance for or against the statement - alternative arguments should be refuted at least once in the piece.
Contrast creates a robust sense of a writer's perspective, by demonstrating feeling towards all angles of an argument.
Use rhetorical questions, direct address and hyperbole to expose the flaws of the opposition in an emotive way.
Carefully sequence and vary subtle and dramatic shifts in tone, to draw reactions from the reader.
