How to Write a Persuasive Essay
 A persuasive essay makes a convincing argument in favor of or in
opposition to an issue. Unlike a factual essay, a persuasive essay
employs bias, or takes a side, in a carefully-argued point of view.
 Let's take those everyday situations and shape them into a
model.Think before you speak or write, and outline your
thoughts:
 State your case.
 Listen to the answer.
 Respond with specifics. Offer good, factual supporting
evidence or information.
 Be respectful, and avoid personal attacks.
 Stay on the subject.
 Sum up your case.

Persuasive Essay Part Two
 Organization:The Anatomy of Persuasion
 The keys to an effective persuasive essay are organization and support.
Some refer to the structure with the acronym POSSE, which stands for:
 Position/Thesis
 Organization
 Support
 Style
 Effective Conclusion

 Others see the structure as consisting of an introduction/thesis
statement, the body, and conclusion. Either way, an effective opinion or
persuasive essay must accomplish the following:

 Clearly state your purpose and opinion.
 State a main point of argument.
 Communicate the basic idea of that argument, with supporting
evidence, and offer informed rebuttal of opposing views.

following:

State a main point of argument.
Communicate the basic idea of that argument, with supporting evidence, and offer
informed rebuttal of opposing views.
Position/Thesis Statement: ExpressYourself
The thesis statement is the "mind" of your essay. Everything else must point back to it, to
truly make the best case. Generally, it should be one or two sentences long.
The mind works best when organized. Ask yourself some questions before you write your
thesis statement, and take the time to clarify the answers:
"What am I going to discuss?"
"How will I argue and support my views?"
"Which reasons will I give? Do I have evidence?"
