Used by students to convince readers of a point of view, persuasive essays are useful. The persuasive essay format includes an introduction, body, and conclusion. The introduction usually contains background information on the topic and summarizes the points that will be made in the body. The body contains evidence to support the points made in the introduction. The conclusion restates what has been said in the introduction and gives a final thought on why readers should agree with what has been written in the paper.
