Class Work
1. For homework, you identified your audience. Let's get to know your readers. (Sharing)
2. You should have a copy of your body art experience ready to read. Take a look at it. Did you include dialogue? Could you? Dialogue brings writing to life.

Let's review the guidelines:

Let's look at a sample paper: "An Excerpt from 'An American Childhood'" pp. 124-125 in Write Now. (Yes, this was a homework assignment earlier.)

Create a character:
A. Pick a profession
B. Pick a location
C. Pick an object

Now, find a partner - only one. Pretend you are the person with the profession and you run into your partner at the location. Now, talk about your object. Partner - role play and be the person with your selected profession.

Next, pretend you are visiting location of your partner. Discuss their object.

Write down the conversation. In fact, you can type back and forth to each other. The 11:30 class can  print the final conversations.  The 1:00 class will e-mail the final conversation to me. Be sure both of your names appear on the document. patricia.eaton@estrellamountain.edu

Homework

If you watch the Super Bowl, pay special attention to the ads. We will be discussing persuasive techniques. Sponsors of the Super Bowl want to convince you to give them your money. As a persuasive writer, you want to convince the reader to agree with your opinion. There are many commonalities.
1. What is your favorite ad? Why?
2.Which ad was most persuasive? Why?
3. Which ad was the worst? Why?
4. Identify the target audience for each. How did you know? Are you part of the target audience?

If you do not watch the Super Bowl, watch at least three ads on TV any time between now and the next class. Answer the same questions.
