Evidence of persuasive development – Your thesis statement should tell us WHY you want us to do/feel/think/believe what you want us to do/feel/think/believe. For example, if your specific purpose is to persuade your audience to volunteer for ___ organization, your thesis statement should answer the question, “WHY should I volunteer for ___ organization?” If someone asked you that question, you would tell them, “Because…” and then come up with reasons they should do what you want them to do, right? So a possible thesis statement might be: “You should volunteer for ___ organization because you will be helping people, it will look good on your resume, and you will feel good about yourself.”
