Restate: My favorite food is pizza.

C - cite textual evidence that supports your answer
- BE SURE to also include author and page # for your citation
E - explain what you quoted and how it applies
S - summarize your idea

Writing a persuasive essay
|
If you are not sure where you stand on a persuasive topic (Ex: Should we keep or get rid of uniforms?) pick whichever is EASIER for you to write about. Also, be sure you stick to only one side of the argument.
