The correct sequence of components in a persuasive essay is the following:
1. A hook to catch the reader's attention <em>(in the introduction, to make sure the reader is interested in the topic.)</em>
2. A thesis statement <em>(in the introduction, to state your position regarding the topic clearly.)</em>
3. A topic sentence in the first body paragraph <em>(supported by evidence, facts, statistics, quotes, etc.)</em>
4. A topic sentence in the last body paragraph <em>(also supported; it must be cohesive but not repetitive of the previous topic sentence.)</em>
5. A restated thesis <em>(in the conclusion, to remind the reader of your position.)</em>
6. A statement of relevance to show readers how the topic impacts society <em>(in the conclusion, so as to provide the topic with the relevance it deserves.)</em>
7. A call to action <em>(also in the conclusion, to engage the reader not only to support your thesis, but to actively fight for it.)</em>
