Rohan16 From what I have known, making up evidence isn't gonna help. So just use the facts that you already know and use anecdotes, rhetorical questions, etc. I mostly plan for 5 mins at least 3 strong arguments, then expand on them within time management. For evidence I simply just use basic knowledge and logic to support my arguments. These are just some of the few ways you can do your persuasive piece.

Quick question. Are creative and persuasive considered separate subjects? Or are they combined into one??
[deleted] Pretty sure they're combined into 1 test overall in the overall grades.
selectiveschoolexamcandidate Is adding a rebuttal for persuasive a good idea?
Rohan16 Overall I think rebuttals are useful and helpful in a persuasive writing piece, since some people might not know real facts about the specific topic, so everything in this case the supports your arguments is helpful. In case if your doing a rebuttal, don't provide false information as that'll just ruin your argument. Remember the more skills you show in your writing the higher marks you might get.
