Discussion Question:
Persuasion is all around us and we experience persuasive messages often, from advertising to political speeches, to social media posts. What do you find to be most effective to persuade you on a topic? Think about some recent persuasive messages you might have experiences, what caught your attention or lead you to listen to that message? How could you use that information in preparing your own persuasive speech?
