Emotional Appeal


Oftentimes, persuasion appeals to people's emotions, especially anger and sadness.  Sometimes commercials or advertisements make people laugh.  This is emotional appeal.  Write two examples of emotional appeal that you have seen.  Also, write about a time where you have used emotional appeal to persuade someone to buy or do something for you.  Remember to use correct grammar and punctuation!

Persuasive Techniques

Bandwagon – this technique tries to persuade by letting you know everyone is buying the product and you better get on the bandwagon too, so you are not left out

In 7 sentences, try to persuade a person to do something or buy something with the bandwagon technique.  Remember, this idea makes the person feel like everyone else is doing something, so they should too.  Please remember appropriate grammar and punctuation!
