1. Using any article in the textbook, set up
-
A controversial CLAIM
-
The AUDIENCE who would disagree with it
-
Three ways to get CREDIBILITY for yourself as the one who argues the claim.
( See p. 10, 14-15 and 16-17).
2. Analyze your proposed audience (250 words). Explore characteristics
they have that you might use to change their minds about the topic, class,
status, income, interests, likes and dislikes, age. Note: you convince
a specific audience on the basis of what you know about them. You're free
to choose your audience and invent their characteristics, but you must
specify audience and characteristics so that others can evaluate your claim,
support and warrant. It's best to work with the kind of people you know,
for example co-workers, family, neighbors.
