Tuesday & Wednesday, October 2 &3 - Persuasion

Objective: By the end of class, students will analyze 1st person POV and persuasive elements in order to improve reading comprehensive skills.

Write into notebooks:

In addition to LOGICAL, ETHICAL and EMOTIONAL APPEALS, good persuasive writers also use:

1. REPETITION - repeat a word or phrase over and over
2. RHETORICAL QUESTIONS - questions that don't need answers
3. PARALLELISM - the same grammatical organization ("...to travel, to stop, to work...." instead of "....to travel. working, when we stop...")


Direct / Guided

The speeches we are going to analyze are PERSUASIVE  which means the speaker is trying to convince the listener of something.
It is AN ARGUMENT that has a CALL to ACTION.
