Today we finished up the Power Point that we started on block day, followed by a brief discussion of persuasive strategies and the various ways these strategies are employed. We looked at some advertisements and excerpts from recent speeches by the presidential candidates, and also talked about other examples of persuasive strategies from daily life. Do you have any other examples you can think of or have seen recently? Post them here. No homework this weekend. Next week we will be focusing mainly on persuasion in writing - mainly editorials and commentaries on various issues. You will be writing your own editorial/commentary during this unit, so be prepared to pick apart
