Big Question Overview and ResourcesOverview Have you ever wanted to make a change in your school, in your community, or in your own life? Making changes can be difficult, even if they are for the best interests of your school or community. Making a change means working hard to get what you want. How do you decide if all your hard work will be worth it in the end? Try reading about other people and how they fought for changes in the world around them. People often express their views and opinions through essays, or other forms of persuasive writing. The purpose of persuasive writing is to convince readers to agree with your opinion about a certain topic. When you read persuasive writing, you learn about people's opinions, develop your own views on controversial topics, and learn to distinguish facts from opinions.
