Multi-Select

You are writing a persuasive poster about recycling. Which two statements would be most effective to include?

Recycling helps save our planet and use resources wisely.Some people think recycling is a waste of time.It can create new products and protect wildlife.Recycling bins can sometimes smell bad.

Highlighting benefits to the environment and saving resources makes a strong argument. Statements that are vague or negative are less convincing.

Multiple Choice

You want to persuade your parents to let you stay up one hour later on school nights. You've prepared two different arguments. Which one is more persuasive and uses better reasoning?

All my friends get to stay up later, so I should be allowed to as well.I'll complete my homework by 7pm, and I promise to go to bed by 9:30pm. This gives me extra time for reading or practising my hobby, which will help my learning.I will be really upset and sad if you don't let me stay up later.Other families who let their children stay up later are much happier than ours.

A persuasive argument should use logical reasons supported by evidence. 'Everyone else does it' (appeal to others) and emotional statements are weaker than demonstrating responsibility and showing specific benefits. The strongest argument addresses your parents' concerns (sleep, homework) directly.

True or False
