What should you include in a persuasive essay based on logic?

You must include an intro, with a topic sentence, thesis statement, and a sentence with at least three reasons supporting your opinion. Next, you should have at least 3 body paragraphs, 1 per reason. Your third could include a counterargument to one of your reasons,if you wish. Or you can put counterarguments all throughout your essay. A counterargument is how your audience may oppose to your opinion. You come back proving them wrong with yet another sentence on how your opinion is right. Finally, you need a concluding paragraph creatively restating your thesis statement, and then a call to action, telling your readers what to do. If all these steps are followed you should end up with a pretty decent essay.
