Friday, October 26, Persuasive Presentations

Objective: Create a persuasive presentation on the topic of your choice using logical and emotional appeals.

DO NOW

On the 8 index cards that you receive, write LOGICAL APPEAL on 5 of them and EMOTIONAL APPEAL on 3 of them.

Direct Instruction

Research a topic to create a persuasive presentation.  You my choose from the list provided on this site CLICK  HERE or suggest your own.  You must get your topic approved by me prior to beginning your research. You may work in PAIRS.

Starter Guidelines

1. Create a minimum of EIGHT slides on powerpoint (however, you may use another program and be more creative if you would like as long as you can identify the appeals.). 

2. Find at least five (5 ) logical appeals and three (3) emotional appeals to plead your case. If you cannot find strong evidence to support your opinion, you may need to choose new topic.  

3. Use google to research your topic.

4. You may be creative and add music or a short video clip. 

5. YOU MUST have a resource page at end of presentation to transform a website into a proper resource, go to this link and cut and paste the web address into it and hit "cite this." It will do the work for you!

6. Each index card should have notes that correspond to individual slides.  You will use these notes when presenting. 

7. I will give you two grades fro this assignment - 100 points for the actual power point and 50 for the way you present it. 

Exit Pass

Hand index cards back to me with your names on the back and any notes you have so far.  You will complete on Monday.
