Persuasion is communication meant to convince you of an opinion that is the author’s viewpoint. Authors can use a variety of persuasive techniques, including:

• Testimonial: A noteworthy person supports a product.

• Bandwagon: The product or activity is said to be popular with everyone. This is exaggerated and contradictory; there is no reason to advertise something that is popular with everyone.

• Emotional appeal: Language used to make a person feel strong emotions. This is misleading since it plays off emotions instead of reason.

• Repetition: A product or service name is repeated many times.

• Slogan: A catchy phrase is used to sell a product.

A. Match a technique of persuasion to each example.

1. Our wheelchairs are used by all Paralympians everywhere.

2. Boundless Playgrounds are fun! Boundless Playgrounds are safe!

Boundless Playgrounds make memories!

3. A GPS device makes you “Glad to Walk Positively Anywhere Safely.”

4. Because of FastBreak Wheelchairs, I was named one of the top young

athletes in the nation.

5. Would you enjoy never going anywhere new, never hearing new sounds, and never meeting new people? Probably not. With GPS, you can be free to walk anywhere, any way, and any time that you want!

B. Work with a partner. Choose one example. Discuss the author’s position in the example. Write another example, using a different viewpoint.
