The key aspects of a Persuasive/Exposition text are...
The writer aims to persuade the reader to feel, think or do something.
Only one side of an issue is presented.
The writing provides clear arguments/points as to why the reader should agree with them.
Evidence is provided to support each argument in the form of examples, verifiable facts, statistics or news articles.
Language is persuasive, utilising subject-specific vocabulary, rhetorical language and high-modality verbs/adverbs to make the argument convincing. Linking words help to structure the argument.
