Parts of a Persuasive Essay Robert

The Parts of a Persuasive Essay 1) The Introduction

This poster that Mr. Hagen made can help you make a Introduction.

The Introduction is to give background information about the topic and to ask some questions to the reader to get their mind thinking for the topic. The questions go first in the Introduction. Then after, the Introduction gives background information of the topic. And lastly, on the last sentence, you write your thesis sentence for the essay.

2) Reasons

2a) List Reasons

In each persuasive essay, there are 3 reasons supporting the thesis, that will make the essay persuasive, thus the name persuasive essay. Each reason has to be able to tell where it got the information of itself as well. There are 3 ways you can describe your reason.

Lists, Outside Sources, or Story. The types will be explained in more detail in 2a, 2b, and 23. Each one with it始s own type.

This is one of the 3 types of reasons you can make. This type of reason is that you make a list of things that support the reason that can support the thesis. The list will be a list in the plan, but will not be a list in the final draft. After each thing in the list you have to explain how the thing helps the reason supporting the thesis.

This is a part of a poster that Mr. Hagen made, that talks about the lists.

2b) Outside Sources Reasons

This is another part of a poster made

by Mr. Hagen explaining what outside sources are.

This is another one of the types of reasons you can make. It consists of surveys, polls, and interviews. For surveys you can go out and as people the question for the survey, you should take a piece of paper out so you can note down what they say. As for polls you can get a piece of paper, write the question down, and draw a T chart for the answer... mostly Yes and No. Lastly, for interviews, you can write down questions for the person and write the answer from the person your asking.

2c) Story Reasons This is the last of the 3 types of reasons. In the story type, you can write a story that supports the reason that supports the thesis. And in the reason you need a transaction from the actual reason to the story that supports it. The story HAS to have good capitalization, punctuation, and grammar.

This is from the same poster that was in 2a) and 2b).

3) Conclusion The Conclusion raps up every thing in the persuasive essay and tries to persuade the reader to agree with the thesis. They use all the reasons that the reader has read. Lastly, on the last sentence, you will write your thesis down, or write it in a different and a more powerful way!
