People recognize patterns by necessity, and three is the smallest number of elements required to create a pattern. This combination of pattern and brevity results in memorable content, and that’s why the Rule of Three will make you a more engaging and convincing writer.

To write a persuasive opinion piece begin with your opinion and then apply the rule of 3.
Plan, plan, plan! Have THREE reasons to support your opinion.
When writing, begin with a clear statement of topic and opinion. Follow it up with a path that states your THREE arguments.
Put each reason in its own paragraph creating THREE paragraphs.

Here is how it will work:
1. I will show you a statement.
2. You will decide your opinion.
3. You will have an opportunity to debate and discuss your thoughts with ``like minded`` people.
4. You will decide on your 3 BEST reasons to support your opinion.
5. You will share your thoughts with the class in an effort to persuade others to join your side.
Let`s give it a try...

So hopefully things are a little more clear.
Persuasive writing can easily be accomplished by remembering a two key things:
1. Know what your opinion is. If you are not sure, how can you expect to convince other people?
2. Follow the RULE OF THREE!
