For this informative essay, having a thesis statement that contains a “surprising reversal” is essential (so please read the informative essay chapter in your Allyn and Bacon textbook.) For your overall essay will contrast your new information with the audience’s perception or commonly held beliefs.
Responding fairly to some of the following questions—whether explicitly in a paragraph with a clear topic sentence or implicitly throughout your essay somehow—will help you incorporate the audience’s perspective into your writing:
1. What common beliefs does your audience have about your topic?
2. Who is your audience?
3. Why do they have these beliefs?
4. What in the audience’s background is informing or fueling the common belief?
5. Is your audience largely ignorant of your new information? If so, explain why.
7. What objections might the audience have naturally?
8. Are your audience’s concerns or misconceptions valid at all?
9. Is your audience stubborn on this topic, or might the audience’s viewpoint change if new information were provided?
10. Do you sympathize with your intended audience?
