Language of Persuasion

UPDATE: We will have a mini-assessment (50 points versus 100), in class on Thursday, Oct. 9. Topics to consider: general versus specific, subtext versus text, deconstructing "bad" ads: target audience, purpose, values, and disempowerment, persuasive techniques, interpretation versus description.

This will be an interactive assessment, which means you will have to USE the skills more often than tell me what they mean (such as just defining or matching words with definitions)


Today you will have________minutes to finish your deconstruction paragraph of the Mexico via Pacifico ad.

Today we will begin looking at persuasion techniques. And there are a TON : )


HW: Please complete your Language of Persuasion exercise.
