This Website began as an experiment in using JavaScript to prompt student achievement. It doesn't pretend to be a full introduction to writing persuasive essays (fine sites are on the Web designed to do this). ElectraGuide is a tool that wants to help high school students: find a topic, create a thesis, and generate an outline. Let's get started!

Choose Topic-O-Rama if you weren't assigned a topic or don't have a good one in mind.

If you already have a topic, try Thesis Builder to help you create the most important sentence in your persuasive essay.

Once you've got a thesis statement, use the Outliner option in Thesis Builder to generate the framework for your essay.
