Throughout the school years, students are taught how to write a persuasive essay. In NJ it is a very important component of the HSPT exams taken by 11th graders in the month of March. Even the shorter open-ended answers follow a compact version of the persuasive essay. Knowing how to analyze an issue, determine what side you support, and to back up your statements with facts and examples is a lesson that carries on throughout life – whether it is used for life occurrences such as convincing parents to extend a curfew (or convincing your child why you won’t extend her curfew), fighting an unjustified traffic ticket, or competing for a promotion. I’ve searched through many sites and found the following to be among the best. I’ll be adding more, I’m sure. I hope these help with your homework! Let me know!
