One last assignment before Spring Break!
Persuasion Application Product
- Goal: Write a persuasive text.
- Role: You are a human who wants your way!
- Audience: Whoever you are trying to convince. State this person in the first line or two of your text.
- Situation: Choose a situation from this list, or create your own (must be appropriate :).
- Product: This text could be in paragraph form or more creatively formatted, such as a dialogue, letter or script. Your text should employ all three methods of persuasion (ethos, logos, pathos) and include at least three rhetorical devices.
- Standard: Your product will be graded (50 summative points) based on correct use of all elements. Please label each use in parenthesis or with subscript notes. Due to turnitinin.com by Sunday (April 5) at midnight (But for heaven's sakes you have three days by Friday. Make way for the weekend if you can. Save yourself by killing the procrastination!). See example here.
