In order to write a persuasive argument essay, it is important to:
1. have a convincing thesis statement (overall claim or assertion)
2. have complete, supporting arguments that include convincing reasoning and evidence.
Here is a strong thesis statement:
"Am I Blue?" by Bruce Coville should not be banned from middle school classrooms because it shows readers why gaybashing is wrong and teaches a valuable lesson, that we should be tolerant of all people regardless of sexual orientation.
Underline your thesis statement. Share with a partner and revise.
Now, work on your body paragraphs. Go back to your outline. Make sure you have a topic sentence, context, evidence, and elaboration.
