a persuasive essay is where your trying to persudae someone to belive/buy something. here is how I was taught to write one:


Topic paragraph: Should inclue a topic sentence or attention grabber, what your going to write about

2nd paragraph: Name one reason & elbaborate

3rd pragraph: Name another reason & elaborate

4th paragraph: Name one reason & elaborate

Conclusion paragraph: re-state your position/topic

some topics I remember talking about is school uniforms, why one cereal was better than the other, and recess time.
