  2. COPY the BLUE portionsIN YOUR JOURNAL: Persuasive writing argues the case against a particular position or urges readers to take a specific action. Example: speeches. advertisements, letters, & problem-solution essays.

  3. PERSUASIVE TECHNIQUES Unit Focus: You will learn about the art of civil disagreement and the power of words to persuade.

  4. TYPES OF FAULTY REASONINGOvergeneralizations - conclusions based on too little evidence.Example: Cleveland won their first three games. They win all their games. The results of three games is not sufficient to make a definitive statement on how they have done historically.Circular Reasoning - supporting your opinion by restating it in other words.Example: Of Mice and Menis really popular because a lot of people like it. Popular and a lot of people like it mean the same thing.Either-Or Fallacy - assuming that a complex question has only two possible answers.Example: In The Odyssey, Eurlychus proposed either leave the sun cattle alone and starve to death or eat the cattle and drowned at sea. He eliminated other possibilities, such as wait a few more days, go fishing, or eat leaves.

  5. Cause and Effect Fallacy- saying one event caused another just because it came before.Example: Dallas led the game until I called my brother to celebrate. I obviously jinxed them. Calling my brother had no effect on Romo’s bad pass. Loaded Language - words or language meant to appeal to emotions rather than logic.Example: He is a scheming politician as opposed to a politician with a plan. Loaded language relies on knowledge of word connotation.Bandwagon - you should do it because everybody's doing it and you want to belong, don't you?“I've sold widgets to fourteen people on this street already.
