Persuasive Essay Guide

A step-by-step guide for your students to create an excellent persuasive/opinion essay! This packet has all the main components in a persuasive essay in it!

This product is what I use to progressively teach the components of a persuasive writing essay. Each step can be used as a mini-lesson, with teacher examples and student brainstorming. When students complete a step, I move on to the next step and guide them through the writing process. You can use the examples I have given in the guide or create your own topic to model for your students.

One thing I love about this guide is that it keeps all of their pre-writing together, and most everything you need is in this packet.

To accommodate 6th grade standards, you would have to incorporate a mini-lesson on finding credible sources when your students are doing research and make sure they give credit on a bibliography page. Of course, I have my 5th grade students do the same if they have to do research for their essay.

Please contact me with any questions or comments about this guide. I would be happy to help! Thank you!
