THEME OF THE DAY: Persuasion
ANNOUNCE: that # 1-5 (below) will be collected this hour…
(Write answers the following prompts):
1. Write down a list of 10 things that some people do to get others to do what they want.
2. On a similar note, write down a list of 7 ways that people might make YOU agree, even reluctantly, to do something that someone else asks of you? (parents, teachers, enemies, friends, salespeople, popular kids, disabled people, celebrities, etc.)
3. Think of a SPECIFIC time when you were persuaded to do something you didn’t want to do but were FINALLY persuaded to do. Write down a short summary of that story.
a. Include what the other person did or said that helped to persuade you?
4. Next, list 10 different things that you, personally, will never buy (for any number of reasons). Anything at all (as long as it’s appropriate for school).
5. Next, pick one thing off your list. Your job now is going to be to write an advertisement that will convince people like you to buy the very item that they said they would never buy.
a. The key is going to be to think of things that can be done with the item that aren’t obvious. For example, if your partner said that they would never buy tuna fish in a can, you may want to sell them tuna fish in a can by suggesting they use it to pound in tent stakes, or freak out their brother by hiding it in his socks, or perhaps, build a vest out of multiple cans of tuna and start a new fashion trend.
i. So first, list some funny, creative things that could be done with their item (these will become your copy points in your advertisement).
b. Next, write a script for a TV commercial that will persuade you to buy one of the items on your I’ll-Never-Buy list.
6. TURN IN #1 – 5 in bin on large table
