An argumentative or persuasiveparagraph is one in which you try to convince the reader of something. You state your reasons for believing something and try to get the reader to agree.
To write this type of essay, you need to decide what you actually believe - this is a personal thing, and nobody else can do it for you! Write a list of all the facts you can find which support your belief or which give examples of your belief. Make these into complete sentences and check for punctuation and grammar.
Here is an example of an argumentative or persuasive paragraph:
You should do your own homework. Copying someone else is illegal, and you can get a failing grade or even be kicked out of school. If you cheat on your job, you can be fired or arrested and put into jail; the government will certainly find you if you cheat on your taxes! Copying someone else's homework also means that you never learn how to do that work for yourself, so when you need the information later (let's say the teacher actually gives you a test on it where you can't copy!) then you don't know how to do it and you get another bad grade. Also, if you don't do your homework, you never learn how to discipline yourself to do unpleasant things, and when you grow up you will always have trouble making yourself do things like your job, paying your bills, and saving money. In short, doing your own homework is the best way to go!

A persuasive essay is an essay in which you try to persuade the reader to believe a certain view or have a certain opinion. A persuasive essay usually contains relevant sources and statistics that persuade a reader to believe this viewpoint.
They are usually structured similarly to this:
Introduction Paragraph: Includes a topic sentence, which quickly demonstrates the view you are trying to persuade. Includes the outline of what and how you will persuade the reader in the following paragraphs.
Body Paragraphs: The amount of words you need to write and how many points you would like to present determine how many body paragraphs you will have. In the body paragraphs you present your points, present sources that support your points, and explain how they support your points
Summary: This summarises and concludes your essay. It briefly skims over what you have already said, and you again state how what you have said supports your point.
Begin your persuasive paragraph with an argument. For example:
Although some citizens believe that a skate park should be constructed in the unreserved area, I strongly believe that our city would benefit most from a city hospital. For instance, more and more people get hurt each year, and they all need a place that they can depend on. A place where they know they can receive the help and the care that they so desperately deserve. If a skate park were to be constructed in the area, then that would mean more children. Children get hurt constantly, and when children get hurt, they need to go to the hospital. Therefore, I believe that citizens would benefit most from a city hospital.
The beginning of a paragraph can start with any word you want - it does not have to start with either "I" or "you." My advice is to just state whatever your topic sentence is, then begin using your arguments to support it.
For a persuasive introduction paragraph, you will need some excellent background information about your topic and a strong thesis statement.
A persuasive Paragraph is a paragraph that tries to get you or the reader to do something. A persuasive paragraph will usually include your topic, three or four reasons why, and then how you perform the action. They sometimes include an opinion against it but they always tell you why the reason is wrong.
it is usually the 6th paragraph in a persuasive essay
It is when you have a persuasive paragraph about personification (a metaphor in which human attributes are given to inanimate objects) so for example, a persuasive paragraph that persuades people that your locker is giving you advice about high school.
About five sentences.
I think that every paragraph in the first chapter is one. it really pulled me in.
At the end of the first paragraph (introduction).
it kind of comes out of the persuasive paragraph but in this case you are persuading the person to believe your side of the story r argument
Any word that may begin a sentence may begin a paragraph.
no. a fact is a fact
You would begin a persuasive speech by getting people's attention. You might say something funny, or shocking, or unexpected, whatever will cause people to take notice. Once you have their attention, you will then be able to make your persuasive argument.
The Begin of a story.
A persuasive paragraph aims to convince or persuade the reader of a certain viewpoint by presenting arguments and supporting evidence. An expository paragraph, on the other hand, focuses on providing information, explaining a topic, or clarifying a concept without necessarily trying to persuade the reader to take a certain stance.
