Persuasive Writing

Hi guys, tomorrow I have a year 11 SAC and it's based on persuasive writing. I was just wondering what makes a good persuasive text, in order to get the best marks as possible?

A good persuasive text shows both sides of the argument. 
Use lots of persuasive techniques - use strong emotive words which appeal to your emotions, maybe use exaggeration or direct speech , rhetorical questions to engage the audience. You could use repetition to emphasise your point and attract attention. You could use an anecdote as part of supporting evidence. Use statistics, facts etc to help prove your point.

In the introduction grab the readers attention and maybe introduce the topic and present some background information  and state your thesis
