But your teacher has a goal: to teach you what might be the single most useful skill in writing\u2014to persuade <em>effectively<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve already mentioned how you have been practicing the art of verbal persuasion since you learned to talk. Written persuasion uses the same strategies and follows the same general rules:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You have a <a href=\"http:\/\/facstaff.gpc.edu\/~shale\/humanities\/composition\/handouts\/audience.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">target audience<\/a>. This is the person or persons who will be reading your essay.<\/li>\n<li>That audience should be essentially <em>neutral<\/em> to your idea or concept (it\u2019s too much uphill sledding to convince someone who you know is already opposed to you to change his\/her mind, and if someone agrees with you already, well, your job is done).<\/li>\n<li>You will set out a logical argument: what your audience should do, why they should do it, and <strong>what they stand to gain from it<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I can\u2019t emphasize this last point enough. You are not using a stick; you are dangling a big juicy carrot. You won\u2019t be the one eating the carrot, so <em>ignore<\/em> any considerations of how much this action might benefit <em>you. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>How much you might benefit from the outcome, should you be successful, doesn&#8217;t matter at all in terms of how to write a persuasive essay. And yes, the potential benefit to you might be the whole reason you\u2019re writing it\u2014but your audience won&#8217;t care, so put that aside. (You can rub your hands together and cackle if you want.)<\/p>\n<p>So you\u2019re probably thinking, yeah, but it\u2019s my <em>teacher<\/em>. She\u2019s going to be reading a whole bunch of essays and isn\u2019t going to spend a lot of time on mine\u2014I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll really change her mind about anything.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of an academic persuasive essay is <em>to construct a persuasive argument<\/em>. You must <em>pretend<\/em> that your reader (your teacher) cares about the topic but has no strong opinions one way or the other.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, when evaluating your essay, your teacher will only consider one question: Would this essay persuade a neutral reader? Would it at least elicit the reaction, \u201cHmm, interesting\u2026he could be right\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, your teacher wants to see that you know how to write a persuasive essay.<\/p>\n<h2>Persuasion Outside the Classroom<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, you might also find yourself needing to know how to write a persuasive essay outside the classroom in any one of a number of contexts. You might be calling fellow students to action on a political or humanitarian cause\u2014vote for Fred Flintstone, save the whales, that sort of thing.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to give people a reason to listen to you and to \u201cget off the fence\u201d and join your cause. That flyer posted on the bulletin board should contain your best persuasive language.<\/p>\n<h2>Advertising is Persuasion\u2014Persuasion is Advertising<\/h2>\n<p>All successful advertisements contain the three elements of persuasion. Let\u2019s go back to that campus bulletin board and see if we can spot them. Aha! Here\u2019s a poster for the concert next Friday night given by The Red Hot Screaming Acid Bath Tadpoles.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/2688735080_fc25d32abd_z.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/2688735080_fc25d32abd_z.jpg\" alt=\"how to write a persuasive essay\" width=\"500\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/2688735080_fc25d32abd_z.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/2688735080_fc25d32abd_z-287x300.jpg 287w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2387 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20522%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"how to write a persuasive essay\" width=\"500\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20522%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/2688735080_fc25d32abd_z.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/2688735080_fc25d32abd_z-287x300.jpg 287w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/2688735080_fc25d32abd_z.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s see how it uses the three elements of persuasion:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Target audience<\/strong>. The poster accomplishes this by being placed on the bulletin board. This isn\u2019t as simplistic as it sounds. The idea is to find a <em>neutral<\/em> audience and appeal to them. Hundreds of students don\u2019t know what they want to do next Friday night.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What the audience should do<\/strong>. Come to our mega-fun concert, dance the night away! Doors open at 8 pm! Admission only $5!<\/li>\n<li><strong>How the audience will benefit<\/strong>. A fantastic experience not stated but implied by the cool graphics and visuals in the poster. You\u2019ll have a blast!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Persuasive Essays Out in the Real World<\/h2>\n<p>Being persuasive remains important beyond school. It will come in handy to know how to write a persuasive essay in the real world too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, when will I ever have to write a persuasive essay in real life?\u201d you may be thinking. And the answer is \u201cNever,\u201d except for:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Job application <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/how-to-write-a-cover-letter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cover letters<\/a> (why you should hire me)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/personal-statement-advice-experts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">School admission essays<\/a> (why you should let me enroll there)<\/li>\n<li>Letters to managers of companies (why you should give me a refund)<\/li>\n<li>Letters to city officials (why you should let me raise chickens in my back yard)<\/li>\n<li>Letters to banks (why you should loan me money)<\/li>\n<li>Letters to prospective customers (why you should choose me to paint your house)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u20261000. Letters to the governor asking for a pardon (I\u2019ll be good from now on)<\/p>\n<h2>Okay, Okay. So Exactly How Do I Go About Writing a Persuasive Essay?<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably been exposed to the standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/write-5-paragraph-essay-outline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">five-paragraph essay<\/a> format beloved of English teachers everywhere:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Introductory paragraph<\/li>\n<li>Three (or two, or four, or eighty-seven) body paragraphs<\/li>\n<li>Conclusion<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Nothing wrong with that. You can adapt this into a persuasive essay format very easily, simply by using the three body paragraphs as your 1-2-3:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Identify the audience<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>State the action<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>State the benefit to the audience <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Obviously, this can be tweaked; for instance, you may wish to spend less time on addressing\/identifying the audience and more time telling them how awesome things will be if they just listen to you.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Write a Persuasive Essay: The Framework<\/h2>\n<p>First, let\u2019s state the action. What do we want our audience to think or do?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stop the illegal immigration of caribou from Canada into the U.S.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Next, let\u2019s identify the target audience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All Americans who care about border security\/national forests, or should care.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finally, let&#8217;s determine the potential benefit (to the audience of course)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Save our national forests from being nibbled to death by illegal immigrant caribou. Also, show Canadians that we\u2019re serious about Homeland Security.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The next step is to construct a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/persuasive-essay-outline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">persuasive essay outline<\/a>. This is a good method no matter what type of essay you\u2019re writing. A good outline will contain the topic sentence of each paragraph:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>(<strong>Intro.<\/strong>) Massive herds of Canadian caribou are invading the forests of Washington, Idaho, and other border states. These hoofed locusts must be stopped from nibbling our precious trees before it\u2019s too late.<\/li>\n<li>(<strong>Whom we\u2019re addressing.<\/strong>) All good Americans should act to combat this menace before it\u2019s too late\u2014everyone should care about preserving our precious national forests.<\/li>\n<li>(<strong>What readers&nbsp;should do<\/strong>.) Concerned citizens should write their representatives immediately to urge them to pass anti-foreign-caribou legislation. Visit the website of Stop the Invasion! at www.nocaribou.com.<\/li>\n<li>(<strong>How it would benefit readers<\/strong>.) Driving the invading caribou back across the border would save our forests for <em>American<\/em> moose, deer, and elk, and would send a message to Canada and the world that the United States will <strong>not<\/strong> tolerate the nibbling of its forests by immigrant caribou.<\/li>\n<li>(<strong>Conclusion<\/strong>.) This menace will only be stopped by your concern and prompt action. Help save America before it\u2019s too late!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The outline completed, you now need to fill in the paragraphs. This method is <em>much<\/em> easier in the long run than just trying to write on the fly. Writing an essay without doing an outline is like building a house without first laying a foundation and putting up a frame.<\/p>\n<h2>Resources<\/h2>\n<p>This is the sort of endeavor where you can best learn by example. As I\u2019ve mentioned, persuasion is all around you, every day. Want to know how to write a persuasive essay? Check the editorial page of your local newspaper. There will always be several opinion columns. Some of these guys could talk an Eskimo into buying a surfboard. How persuasive are the authors? What works and what doesn\u2019t? What is their goal? Who are they trying to persuade?<\/p>\n<p>You can also benefit by reading some of the best persuasive essays in history. For example, Thomas Paine\u2019s \u201cCommon Sense,\u201d the Declaration of Independence, and the Preamble to the Constitution are all powerful pieces of persuasion.<\/p>\n<p>Or, you could read Benjamin Franklin\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/grammar.about.com\/od\/classicessays\/a\/franklinmis.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Advice on the Choice of a Mistress<\/a>\u201d\u2014a <em>very<\/em> persuasive essay in letter form on how a young man should prefer older women (from a true expert on the subject).<\/p>\n<p>I would be remiss, of course, if I didn\u2019t point out that we have a very useful library of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-examples\/argumentative-and-persuasive-essays\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">persuasive essays examples<\/a> for you to look over.
