How do you argue or present your point of view in an argumentative, persuasive, or informative essay? Do you vigorously present your opinion? In other words, do you state to your audience, “I really, really want you to agree with my point of view because I really want you to believe me”, or do you show your audience you are an expert by presenting information from outside sources that support your claim (opinion or point of view) you are arguing?

Argumentative vs Informative Essays

Argumentative essays and informative essays are two types of essays that deal with facts and

information. The main difference between argumentative essays and informative essays is that

argumentative essays try to convince the reader to accept the writer’s point of view, while informative

essays provide information and explanations in a straightforward manner to the readers.

Informative Essays

Informative essays are a type of writing that explains a certain issue or a topic. An informative writer

should always maintain an objective, neutral tone throughout the essay, or they shouldn’t try to argue

one side over another. The author of an informative essay is kind of like a reporter at a newspaper: only

there to state the facts, not to offer any sort of opinion. In this type of an essay, the writer should refrain

from pointing out his personal ideas and beliefs. For SAGE testing, an informative essay is three

paragraphs long: one introduction paragraph containing the central idea of the paper, one body

paragraph that contains enough facts and information to cover the topic, and a conclusion that briefly

summarizes all the points explained in the body. Real writers use as many body paragraphs as they need

to explain the topic they’re writing about, but for the purposes of SAGE testing, stick to just one body

paragraph.

Argumentative Essays

An argumentative essay is a type of writing in which the writer tries to convince his audience that his

opinion is valid. An argumentative essay contains a combination of facts and writer’s personal ideas. A

writer preparing to start an argumentative essay has to do a lot of research and gather evidence to

prove and defend his point. An argumentative essay is biased and subjective, although the writer has to

be aware of the opposing views on the subject. This type of essay appeals to the logic and the reasoning.

For SAGE testing, an argumentative essay is supposed to be 4-5 paragraphs long: one introduction

paragraph containing the author’s claim or main argument, two or three body paragraphs or sub points

that support and illustrate the author’s argument, and a concluding paragraph that briefly summarizes

all the points explained in the body. Real writers use as many body paragraphs as they need to explain

the topic they’re writing about, but for the purposes of SAGE testing, stick to two or three body

paragraphs.

Difference Between Argumentative and Informative Essays

The main difference between argumentative and informative essays is that an informative essay

contains only information to explain a topic, whereas an argumentative essay contains statistics, facts

and writer’s personal ideas. Another vital difference between argumentative and informative essays is

that an informative essay always gives a balanced account of a subject while an argumentative essay

may be biased and subjective. It should be also noted that an argumentative essay can contain elements

of an informative essay, as argumentative essays also state explanations and information. Another  

central difference between argumentative and informative essay can be noted in the opening sentence

in the essay; the opening sentence in an argumentative essay states the argument, and the opening line

in an informative essay introduces the topic
