15. How to Write a Persuasive Essay
Introduction
 Every good persuasive essay begins with a strong
introduction, which is the thesis statement for your
essay.
 A good thesis statement functions as a road map for
the piece of writing that lies ahead.
 It articulates a paper's main point in one or two
sentences.

16.  This is where the “meat” of your persuasive essay will appear,
using data and evidence to back up your thesis and present your
counterarguments.
 A good body paragraph contains three main sections: a topic
sentence (or key sentence), relevant supporting sentences, and a
closing (or transition) sentence.
 This structure keeps your paragraph focused on the main idea,
providing clear, concise information.
Include your body paragraphs.

17. Wrap it up with a strong conclusion.
1. A conclusion is the final piece of writing in a
research paper, essay, or article that summarizes the
entire work.
2. The conclusion paragraph should restate your
thesis, summarize the key supporting ideas you
discussed
