So the general structure of any essay would obligatory include an introduction, a main body and a conclusion. This is always unchanged. Herewith an introduction would always include a thesis statement; the body paragraphs, which are not less than three in number, would explain and discuss the main position of the arguments; and a conclusion would summarize everything stated in the body, answering the thesis statement and present the final resume of the entire writing.
The persuasive essay is to have a strong argument having several opposing viewpoints about one problem, and to persuade the audience about one particular point of view, convincing them that this is the only best way of thinking. So in your paper you are to present both (or all of them, if they are more than two) positions and to discuss them singling out one that you are going to stick to. Your task is to say what you think about the question and to prove that this position is the best one. So in the introduction you are to present your thesis containing the main argument of the essay you are going to deal with. In the body you are to present the statements supporting this thesis as well as the opposing views and statements contradicting it. So you see that you need to know the problem in all the details.
As for the main body structure it would have not less than three paragraphs, as it has already been stated above, each dealing with a separate statement. This is going to be your supporting argument compared and contrasted to an opposite one. Each paragraph consists of not less than three sentences. The first one presents the idea of the paragraph (in this case it can be an idea supporting the main argument), the second one presents the evidence proving this idea, and the third one makes a smooth transition to the next paragraph.
So the persuasive essay structure is not scary and not difficult as long as you know how to do it right. Of course there can be exceptions but the main points exposed in this article are the basics of the needed structure.
