Homework for 4-b/Assigned on 2/15 and due on 2/23

WRITE LIKE

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

Be prepared to read your speech aloud to your small group on Wednesday, Feb. 22.

Some persuasive strategies we identified today include:

repetition of a word or phrase (Reread speech for examples. The speech is in your orange text.)
emotional language/sensory language--language that appeals to the senses and emotions
figurative language--similes/metaphors/personification
reference to song lyrics that support argument/position
reference to historic documents that support argument/postion
shout out to groups/demographics in an effort to personalilze the issue
