A persuasive essay, aka argumetative essay, is where you write to "persuade", or convince the audience to agree with your views, perhaps support your views...
Some examples are the popular controversies: abortion (prolife v. prochoice), death roll, outsourcing... etc. |

a persuasive essay. its what it said. an essay to persuade something, and to get somebody on to you side.
for a topic. think of somethign you like that nobody thinks its fun. then you can defend and argue why that thing you like is fun or w/e. get the idea? |

think of something you beleive in..a controvursial issue. maybe check through the debate forum for some ideas. incase you dont know what purswasive (ahh sp. =X) writing is..its trying to convince people about an issue and how you feel about it..include facts also to support your side

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 so I hope that helped!!!! some topics I remember talking about is school uniforms, why one cereal was better than the other, and recess time. |
