Persausion vs. Information (Nov 6)

Choose one or two facts or quotes from your research Wednesday. Then, write 2 paragraphs:

One paragraph should just present the information (what is it?) as dryly as possible, as if you were just writing an encyclopedia article.

Then write an impassioned paragraph, using the same facts or quote. Pretend like you're standing up in a Town Hall meeting trying to convince everyone of your point.



Word count: 250 words (for two paragraphs)
Responses: at least one
Title: your topic or argument
