How do you write a conclusion for a persuasive paper?
345200
A persuasive paper, the conclusion should really just say the same thing as the introduction with a slightly more detailed or expanded argument.  Short and plain are usually strongest.  I say this but I really can't write them myself!

Ok. What about showing them different texts and asking if they think they are Fact or Opinion? You could use a newspaper editorial (opinion), a computer/car manual (fact) and a TV advert (always sure to raise a discussion that one - but best they realise it is opinion).\nAfter looking at these examples you could then get them to write a piece of Fact and Opinion based on these examples.

State what you are going to prove.  List 5 ideas that prove your statement.  Conclude by saying what you just proved.  (e,g, BEGINNING: It's not good for kids under the age of ___ to walk to and home from school alone. FIVE SUPPORTING POINTS:  1. it subjects children to victimization by criminals; 2. it subjects kids to physical injury while crossing the street; 3. kids who are victims of crime are subject to grow up with deep traumas and sometimes have lasting phobias; 4. parents whose children are kidnapped, murdered, molested, etc. are sometimes more likely to be less productive members of society due to life-long grief and related emotional problems; 5(a). parents who fail to adequately provide for the safety of their children increase the burden on law enforcement agencies who have to incur time and resources in locating children, or 5(b) all society is hurt when children are hurt because everyone loves children. CONCLUSION:  Therefore, due to the fact that -------, ----, -----, -----, and ----, parents should not allow children under the age of ___ to walk to and from school unchaparoned by an adult or responsible older child.\n\nThat's just an example.\n\nYour essay is something you want to prove.  It has a beginning, a middle and an end.  It can be anything from "Why it's tough to make it in the world today," to "Why I've chosen to be a ____" when I graduate.  Have fun with it - and goodluck.  \n\nBe sure to choose a NARROW topic - it gets crazy when you choose a broad topic. Then brainstorm only stopping to make rough notes of what comes out of your mind.  Just let all your thoughts about the subject flow out uninhibited. Don't interrupt the flow. Then look closely at all the rough ideas and select the best ones.  Hopefully, you'll have 10 or more. Next, pick the top five-your very best-points.  Now you have your topic and 5 excellent points to support your topic.\n\nP.S.  It's a good idea to deal with ideas that are the extreme position of yours, but discuss them in your essay to dispel them or break them down.  Whenever you write anything, assume that the reader already knows the other side.  So deal with it, acknowledging it, BUT topple it with your points. For example:  for point 1 above, which reads: subjects children to victimization by criminals.  Some parents will say, "we live in a safe neighborhood and no children have ever been harmed in our neighborhood" -- you might want to write:  Some parents believe their neighborhoods are safe and permit their children to walk to and from school.  Other parents allow their children to walk to and from school because the school is onely a couple of blocks down the street.  The reason neither of these ideas are good ones is because statistics have shown that child molesters are subject to pick up kids from affluent neighborhoods as they are from other ones.  [sometime like that - gotta run - hope it helps]

There are some very good facts on this website:http://www.kent.k12.wa.us/staff/PollyRegnart/writing_folder/controversy/michelle.htm.  For you conclusion you can just restate previous points of your essay. BE creative on your cover sheet, make it appealing. If you really cant find what you need online go to the nearest library and ask around for smoking books, you can find almost everything in a library. Just make sure if your persuading keep it strictly on your point. especially in the conclusion.

more specifically..in ur intro, u should state ur thesis statement, then state ur three topic sentences that will give ur reader an insight of what u will be talking abt in order to prove ur thesis statement.end ur intro with a conclusion that restates ur thesis statement but mind u-use other words..dont repeat words..\nthen coming to ur first topic sentence (1st paragraph)..give as much proof as possible to show ur thesis statement is right..while giving the evidence, keep relating back to the thesis statement..end the paragraph with a conclusion..use connectives like in addition, altogether etc. so that ur essay seems to be 'flowing'. do the same to ur third paragraph and fourth for ur second and third topic statements...\nnow coming to ur main conclusion..restate the thesis in a another way now..but dont distort what u r intending to say...\nand oh yes, dont forget to write the works u cited to get the proof..\n\nHope I have proved helpful to u!! :)

This is the introduction of a persuasive essay\n\nIn the persuasive essay, you must defend your side of an argument. You are no longer merely showing, you are convincing. \n\nThe persuasive essay must choose a side, make a case for it, consider and refute alternative arguments, and prove to the undecided reader that the opinion it presents is the best one. You must be aware of other sides and be fair to them; dismissing them completely will weaken your own argument. \n\nIt is always best to take a side that you believe in, preferably with the most supporting evidence. It can often be educational to adopt a different position from what you might normally choose (debating requires this kind of flexibility).\n\n\nhttp://web.uvic.ca/wguide/Pages/PersuasiveEssay.html

the diff between a persuasive paper and an argumentive paper is about what the motivation to talk about it is. if you're compairing it to someone else's oppinion, then it's arg. if you're just trying to get people to do or think about something, then it's pers.

What your teacher wants you to do is, rather than just put the wuote in your paper, explore why and how this quote serves to further your argument.  For example, if I was writing a paper about teh play MacBeth and wanted to talk about Lady MacBeth's madness, it wouldn't be enough for me to put in  the paper "Lady MacBeth repeats 'out damned spot!' which shows her increasing madness."  I would have to go on from there and say something like, "The repetition of 'out damned spot,' reveals how Lady MacBeth is fixated by the blood stains she sees on her hands but are no longer there.  Her internalization of the murder is so torturous for her that she feels like she can never wash away the stains.  This is how this scene proves Lady MaBeth's madness; since she cannot see that her hands are clean, she is unable to put the murder behind her and therefore cannot remove her terrible misdeads from her psyche."\n\nWhen you are putting quotations in a paper, just be sure to guide your reader through what the quotation means to your argument.  Never assume that your reader will just "get" your meaning; be sure you explain everything.

Well, it depends on what the paper is about.  Usually a solid idea is a good start, followed by credible sources.  After that, gather all the information you think you might need and write up an outline and be as specific as possible.\n\nDon't fret too much about your thesis - it's difficult to write a paper to a thesis.  Get a good idea and a loose thesis and go with it.  When you get father along in your paper, then you can go back and work on your thesis.  \n\nBasically, when writing a good paper, you are going to tell them (the reader) what you're going to tell them (the thesis and introduction, then you are going to tell them what you said you will tell them (body of the paper), then you'll tell them what you already told them (conclusion).  Assume that the reader has NEVER heard of the topic before (unless it's a 2-4 page paper, in which case you probably don't have room to make that assumption).  Explain your topic and your points in an easy to understand way that includes complex and analytical ideas.\n\nMost of all, don't procrastinate.  Get started early.  That will relieve a lot of stress from the paper writing process.

1. analyze the title (what does it mean?);\n2. write the central idea (or argument), which is, obviously, related to the title;\n3. try to understand what the author is DOING (comparing, contrasting, refuting an idea, etc.);\n4. see if there are two opposing viewpoints; if so, which one does the author favor?\n5. reread the conclusion: how does the author sum up what (s)he has just discussed?\n6. try to come up with at least 3 key-words (these are directly related to content);\n7. based on the key-words (that is, on the ideas behind them), write a critical evaluation of the author´s thesis (= central argument).\nGood luck!

I like this pretty basic outline:\nIntroduction\n  a. Lead (something to catch the reader's attention)\n  b. Thesis (main topic of your paper)\n  c. Preview of your main points (example: "dogs are great pets because they are loyal, easy to care for, and inexpensive"\n2-?. Body Paragraphs \n(Here, you put as many body paragraphs as you have main points. Altranate hard evidence with your comments and analysis)\n3. Conclusion\n  a. Restate thesis.\n  b. Closing (a sentence that gives a note of finality and ties it all in)\n\nThis is a pretty basic, highly structured outline. Once you get comfortable, you can be more creative.

I would suggest that you look at the assignment that was given to you.  Typically instructors will provide all of the information that you need to successfully complete the paper.\n\nMost papers have an introductory paragraph which contains the thesis statement.\n\nThen the body of the paper which details all of the facts and information that support the thesis statement.\n\nThe conclusion of the paper is a paragraph or two that pulls the body of the paper and the thesis statement together.

Answering the question that was asked. That's a big one because many people only partly asnwer or don't even really answer it. No bs either. Don't babble just to fill more space. Being creative and throwing in a little humor doesn't hurt either. If you are writing a paper, be interested in your subject and do good research. It will show. Take a unique or unpopular angle and make a good argument for it. Follow a strict outline, so it's structured and makes sense.

The other answers were valid and good advice.  I would add that you should critically look at the short paper and see if you could outline it.  If your points follow smoothly you should easily be able to create an outline from what you've written.  If you can't, maybe some re-organization is in order.  As a last thought for you, the adage "tell them what you're going to tell them, then tell them, and then tell them what you told them" will make sure you have a beginning, a middle with your information, and a summary (beginning and summary can just be a short sentence).    Since your essay is short, I've included a link to a short article speaking about seven steps to writing a good essay.  Good luck.  Hope you get an Excellent written in red across the top!

Restate the major points of the paper.  Then offer a final conclusion or recommendation based on those points.\n\nBest wishes and good luck.

Unless you can express yourself much better, you will have some real problems. Start with a statement, qualify that statement (explain it), and then in your conclusion bring out the major points and justifications.
