Homework for 3-b assigned on 2/15 and due on 2/17

WRITE LIKE

Think about a BIG issue that you feel strongly about. Write a one-page speech that employees THREE of the PERSUASIVE STRATEGIES used by Dr. Martin Luther King.

Be prepared to read your speech aloud to your small group on Thursday. Each group will determine which is the most effective speech and these will be delivered to the whole class on Thursday.

Some persuasive strategies we identified today include:

repetition of word or phrase
emotional language/sensory language--language that appeals to the senses
figurative language--similes/metaphors/personification
reference to song lyrics that support argument/position
reference to historic documents that support argument/postion
