Current Unit ~ Persuasion part 2
In this unit, students will study the concept of change and consider the many ways argument and persuasion can be used effectively to cause change. Students will read a variety of literature, including poems, short stories, speeches, and essays, which will provide the context for looking at change and perhaps reveal argument and persuasion in surprising places. As they read the literature, students will respond to it and think critically about it by analyzing ideas, vocabulary, and structure. This unit highlights elements of persuasion, especially as it relates to oral communication.
