Researching a Topic, Developing an Argument:

The important thing in choosing a topic for a persuasive writing is making sure it is debatable. Your research should focus on finding arguments to support both sides of the topic you are writing about.

Writing an Introduction, Finishing with a Conclusion:

The first paragraph introduces the topic broadly and closes the focus on your topic until it ends with the thesis (theory) statement. The final paragraph of the essay presents a review of main topics and the central argument of the persuasive writing.

Developing an Argument through Evidence:

Presenting evidence in the form of facts, statistics, quotes and examples provides your reader with multiple ways to understand your argument or topic

Drafting the Complete Argument:

Once you develop an argument, gather research and create an introduction, you can work on organising your overall writing.
