3. Get ready to convince others that your cause is worthy. (By now, you should have decided what it is that you want to save. In addition to a short paper, you will be convincing the audience by creating a pamphlet or PowerPoint presentation.)
You will do the following:
1. Know the targeted audience - friend or foe.
2. Prove that a problem exists.
3. Provide reasons why the problem needs to be solved.
4. Call the listeners/readers to action by providing clear steps to be taken.
This is the outline for the paper and the PowerPoint or pamphlet.
Homework
1. Conduct research and outline the main points you plan to make in the paper. (Use EasyBib or other Works Cited source to keep track of your research.)
2. Identify your audience.
3. Locate a pamphlet to bring to class. There are many here at the college. Check lobbies of hotels or tourist areas for others. We will be looking at the wording, selection of information, and visuals.
