does anyone know the steps on writing a persuasive/ananlytical essay?

We Answered:

Essential steps for writing a persuasive essay:
1-Identify your main idea or point of view
2-Identify your audience
3-identify the strongest supporting points for your persuasion.
4-Identify the most significant opposing view

How to organize your persuasive essay:
1-Introduction
Your introduction should hook your reader's attention and provide background information on your topic or controversy.

The paragraph should end with a clear statement of your main idea or point of view.

Body paragraphs

Your body paragraphs should present the points in support of your main idea.

Each body paragraph should focus on one point.

Be sure to provide evidence or examples for each point.

Opposing view

After presenting your supporting points, develop one paragraph to accurately explain and then refute the most significant opposing view.

Conclusion

Creatively restate your main idea and supporting points.

Try to leave your audience even more connected to your topic and persuaded by your main idea or perspective.

What are some steps to writing a good, solid essay?

We Answered:

I teach my students "SECSy writing." You want to convince someone of your opinion, so you need:

Statement
Examples
Commentary
Spicy Sentences

Your introduction should have a hook or grabber (a statement about or related to the topic of your paper that draws in the reader), a citation (the title and author of a book) if you are doing a literary analysis, some brief background information on both the topic and the text, and your thesis statement.

WRITING A THESIS: Your thesis is what you are trying to prove. It is the answer to a question. It is not something that everybody already knows - it should be insightful and, most importantly, DEBATABLE. You can consider it an "I think" statement with the "I think" removed. You can also make it more complex in order to set up the structure of your argument.

BODY PARAGRAPHS
Use SECS (see above)

CONCLUSION:
-Restate thesis statement
- Explain how the examples you provided showed this to be true (do this without saying exactly what you said before - offer new insight, don't be redundant)
- End by explaining why the topic as a whole is important to literature (or whatever subject) as well as life.

what steps are included in the pre-writing of essay writing?

We Answered:

1. introduction
the introduction should explain what the essay is going to talk about, including the titles of your references and the subjects you're going to talk about. Step by step, one reference after the other.
2. main body
following your step by step references in your introduction you now go into details in answering your question using enough reference support as backup
3. conclusion
summarise your main points in the main body and their pros and cons if possible with more references supporting your pros and cons.
