Writing a Persuasive Essay
A persuasive essay is used to convince your reader to agree with your opinion on a controversial topic. (controversial means that people often disagree)
The typical persuasive essay follows the 5 paragraph format
Introduction
3 Body paragraphs
Conclusion
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1: Attack the prompt! Create a “do/what” chart where you list all the verbs of the prompt under “do”, and the objects of the verbs under “what”
Example: Write a persuasive essay in which you state your opinion on school uniforms. Use factual details to support your points with evidence.

S They
are ugly They
don’t allow the child to express their individuality Requires
that parents buy more clothes than they would normally buy Students
will feel unhappy at school
They may not learn Does
not stop bullying or gang associations.
Most
students do not like how the uniforms fit and feel. Bullies
and gang members find alternative ways to express themselves Students
usually wear the same clothes to school that they wear everywhere
else Teenagers
usually take pride in picking out their own clothes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 3: From your circle map, pick the 3 best points to support your claim.
Does not stop bullying or gang affiliations
Students may feel unhappy at school, and will therefore not learn
Requires that parents buy more clothes than they would normally buy
Now, pick the strongest of the three points and think of a point someone might make to disagree with you. This is called a counter point, and it is very important in shaping a persuasive essay.

4: Order your reasons/points in order from weakest to
strongest. (Remember, your strongest point will also include a
counter point). Now plug these into a “flee” map. (A
“Flee” map is a combination of a flow map and a tree map)
Parents
usually only buy one set of clothing for their children. Uniforms
require that they buy two. The
country is in an economic recession and the working class needs all
their money. An
unhappy student usually has a bad attitude, and may hurt other
students. If
a student is self-conscience of how they look, they may spend more
time worrying about that than paying attention in class. Gang
members will find new ways of identifying themselves Bullies
want to put people down no matter what, so even if they can’t
make fun of what they are wearing, they will find something else to
make fun of. Counter
Point Details
and evidence
School Uniforms should not be
required
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 5: Create your thesis and hook.
Thesis Equation: Your opinion + your 3 reasons = thesis statement
Example: Students should not be required to wear school uniforms because they cost parents too much money, they make students unhappy, and it does not stop bullies or gangs.
Hook: You never get a second chance at a first impression. Entice your readers with an interesting first sentence. (Don’t use a question—it is usually done incorrectly) Make a bold statement related to your topic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 6: Brace map! Organize your essay in a brace map. Include where you will place all of your information for your readers.

Paragraph Four: Counter Point, Reason 3 w/ evidence |
CP: Many people believe that uniforms stop bullies and gangs influences.

E: Gang members will find new ways of identifying themselves
|

|
Paragraph Five: Conclusion |
(Restate your main points) There are many reasons why students should not be required to wear school uniforms. They cost money that parents don’t have, and they make students feel self-conscience. Furthermore, unlike common belief, they do not stop bullying or gang affiliations. |
