Writing a Persuasive Paper

After reviewing the websites provided, I learned a great deal about how to write a persuasive piece. I learned that it is important to know both sides of your issue and to respect them. It is also important to support your prospective with experts. A great example was the "Effective persuasion" power point, on the Cite Sources with some Clout side it asked, " Which source would a reader find more credible? The New York Times or http://myopinon.com." This was a great example of which source is most respected by readers. I learned that you must have a strong Thesis Statement, your thesis statement must be debatable.
