you have two parts to write this week part 1 after reading the article
Question
You have two parts to write:
Part 1. After reading the article on "Why Are We
Dressing Our Daughters Like This?" write a
minimum 150-word persuasive paragraph that
answers this question: Has today's treatment of
young girls improved, stayed the same, or
become even worse than the problems discussed
in this 2007 article? Your paragraph should try to
use several persuasive strategies that we
discussed this week in lecture.
Part 2. In about a 200-word paragraph, analyze
and critique the persuasive strategies of the
article, "Debate of Horror Films and Youth." In
other words, identify persuasive devices and
techniques in the reading and explain what you
think works and what doesn't work. Does this
article convince you, or not? Why or why not?
This exercise is almost identical to the upcoming
analysis assignment to help you practice
"rhetorical analysis." Our Wed. lecture (will) also
provide a model for how to do a rhetorical
analysis.
