8/23

Warm-up:  SI will award extra credit on the Thank You for Arguing Quiz to ONE student.  Write an argument that will convince your classmates that they should vote for you to be the one to receive the extra points (they cannot vote for themselves).  Think about using what you learned in TYFA to be persuasive.

Classwork:  Extra credit persuasive speeches and voting; work on persuasive situation assignment


Homework:  Due Friday - persuasive situation homework

Step 1:  Choose a desire that you have that is dependent upon the cooperation of someone else and write an explanation of what you want & what you need to persuade that person to do/say/think/feel to make your dream a reality. (Ex:  You want to borrow something, you want a later curfew, you want less homework/chores)

Step 2:  Identify 2 different audiences (can be just 1 person or a group) that you would potentially have to persuade.  The audiences should be as different as possible.  Ex:  One familiar/one formal… similar age/ older.

Step 3:  For each audience write 5 sentences or statements that you would say to persuade that audience to give you what you want.  For each of those 10 statements (5 per audience), explain why that statement is persuasive, what rhetorical strategy you are using, or why you had to say that.  You can use terms from TYfA or just explain it in your own words.
