12/1 Persuasive Writing Project/ Charity Research

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break!

Today we will begin our Persuasive Writing Project about a charity of your choice.

Here is a list of possible charities you can choose from: LIST

Here is what I need you to do today:

1. Pick a Charity

2. Tell Mr. Osborne so he can sign you up on the doc (That way everyone doesn't do the same charity)

3. Begin researching about your charity. Use the research outline on my google classroom.

4. Your charity research outline is due WEDNESDAY at the end of the day. That means you will have two full days to work on this assignment, and part of the hour on Tuesday (after we finish our student news). I will put in a grade for the the outline on Thursday morning and we will move on the next part of the assignment.

11/24 More Persuasion

Today we will begin with a brief surprise quiz!!

After the quiz... persuasive writing activity.

Dr. Jacobs has been given enough money to buy one student the car of their dreams, thanks to a new grant he recently applied for. The problem is that he is only allowed to buy a car for one student, and he does not know who to pick.

Using the persuasive techniques we have discussed, write at least two paragraphs explaining why Dr. Jacobs should buy the car for you.

Use this link to write your response.

When we finish those two activities we will discuss your persuasive paper and speech assignment.

11/21 Power of Persuasion

Please give me the link to your Google Presentation here.

When finished, we will watch two more clips.

Discuss what persuasive appeals you see and how they are effective.

Put your responses to these two videos on this document.

11/19 The Power of Persuasion

As we transition into our next unit, we will be discussing different persuasive appeals and ways of convincing other people in something you believe in.

The three types of persuasive appeals are:

Emotional
Logical
Authoritative

We will have a brief slide show about these three types, and then you will be asked to complete the following assignment:

•Find an ad on YouTube or as an image online
•Create a Google presentation with the ad, explaining which appeals it is using and how
•Be prepared to explain if the ad is effective or not

Here is my example: 

Kid Rock - Chevy

This will be due at the start of class tomorrow.
