 Like the informative speech, your speech should be organized with: an introduction (attention getter, orientation to the topic, thesis sentence, preview); body (each main point organized with signposting, statement, support, and summary); and conclusion (review and sense of closure).  However, the persuasive speech's body is organized following a persuasive speech model.  This can be a rhetorical appeal--where each main point is a reason why the thesis should be considered true.  It can be a Problem/Solution/Benefits speech.  Problem/Cause/Solution speech.  Or Motivated Sequence.  Below I've given some helps for you to understand how to construct these speeches.
