It has been so great to work with all of you--Happy Holidays! In chapter 7, Monroe's Motivated sequence is explored as another way to attempt persuasion in addition to our class outline format--There are 5 steps: 1.ATTENTION (Address listener's core concerns), 2. NEED (isolate and describe issue), 3. SATISFACTION (identify solution), and 4. VISUALIZATION (use descriptive language to make audience SEE solution at work, ie: vividly describe a world without polution) and 5. ACTION (call to audience to demonstrate their agreement with you, ie: Vera's speech when she had us sing at the end). The final will address Monroe's motivated sequence in addition to audience analysis and fallacies. These tools are a great way to write a good organized essay too, so you can use them well beyond our class--For our final blog entry here, please attempt Monroe's step 4, using powerful, colorful, vivid and symbolic language to create
visualization to persuade the rest of us to adopt some family or cultural ritual which YOU believe strongly in during this holiday season! You have until December 13th to post. Feliz Vaccaciones Amigos! Happy New Year!!!!!!
