What is Discursive Writing?

In a discursive writing, you are required to discuss a given topic and come up with the relevant arguments. 

How to Organize a Discursive Essay?

You can use the following basic structure to write a discursive essay:

• Start with an interesting introduction
• Go on with a clear indication of your position related to the topic
• Present your first argument with the supporting evidence
• After that, come up with the second argument with supporting evidence. Remember that the number of paragraphs will depend on the number of arguments.
• Finally, write a conclusion of the entire essay.
