Persuasive Essay Final Tips:
DO NOT SAY “I think”, ”I believe”, “In my opinion”, Romeo was responsible for Juliet’s death. YOU SHOULD SAY Romeo was responsible for Juliet’s death.
You need to be clear about your argument in the first sentence. This is called your thesis.
Your paragraphs should flow in an order that makes sense: in an order where you arguments continue to grow stronger towards the end, etc.
Use strong and specific evidence from the novels we have read.
