Persuasive Writing

Class 702 analyzed the article, "Fashion Police" today, looking for ways in which sources in the article met the criteria for effective persuasive writing. They did a great job of analyzing the podcast from NPR in which a young man spoke of his recent distaste for those who wear sagging pants. Class 731 will hear that podcast Monday.

Next week, we will continue to analyze persuasive writing...looking at among other things:
Commercials aimed at teens
Public service announcements
Martin Luther King's famous speeches and letters

Homework: Class 702 Reading Logs due Monday
All: Read/Respond January 21.

Get ready for a great February!
