Example

Call To Action

The ad/author wants you to do something after reading their ad/essay.

Usually, ads want you to buy or give money to something.

Authors want you to think/feel something.

Rhetorical Question

Question asked that is asked for effect and not an answer.

Encourages the audience to think about their beliefs or what is happening rather than answer the question.

Example: “Why me?!” “What were you thinking??”

Bandwagon Technique

This type of persuasion tells you to do something because everyone else is doing it.

Examples:

It’s the coolest new thing! Everyone is doing it!

You’ll be left out if you don’t have one!

Glittering Generality

Uses words like: “Better!” “New!” “All Natural!” “New and improved!” “Organic!”

This tries to make you think a product is special by using words and images.

Name Calling

This is when you say bad things about another product

Used a lot in political advertising

Examples:

Jack In the Box serves real burgers, not those fake brown things over at McDonald’s.

Vote Clinton! She has the experience!

Name Calling

Testimonial

A well-known person supports a product or service

Ethos

When you use a person’s beliefs and opinions to convince them to do or buy something.

PracticeMiddle school is a time when kids begin to distinguish themselves from one another. Students begin to develop their own sense of personal style, trying to both fit in and stand out at the same time. Middle school students often use clothing and outward appearance as a way to show their individuality. Thus, students should not be forced to wear uniforms to school. “Old”, standard uniforms are not proven to stop student violence and they take away students' right of self-expression. The “new” school uniform should be no uniform! Students all over the country will soon be saying “No!” school uniforms. Show your support by leaving your uniform at home and coming to school in your clothes.
