• Before you write a first draft of your Persuasive
  Essay, you will need to organize the structure of
  your paper. One way to organize your ideas is by
  creating a formal outline.
• Normally, an outline organizes only the body of
  your paper.

• CheckPoint Paragraphs
• Often, writers use more than one type of
  supporting paragraph to develop an essay. The
  type of supporting paragraph depends on the type
  of thesis statement the writer has chosen. For
  example, an argument might be supported by an
  example or cause/effect, and a personal
  experience might be supported by details.
