Persuasive Reading Analysis - Best Advertisement


Persuasive Reading Analysis: Best Advertisement Ever
We are learning to identify the strategies used by the writers to persuade their viewer audience .
Persuasive strategy
Yes / No
How the author used it?
Claim – States the main  
point or stance
Yes
I believe the purpose of the advertisement is to make the audience think about the small or big things they can do to make another person's life happier or change the world around them.
Big Names –  Mentions experts and
important people to support the argument
No

Ethos – Tries to build trust and credibility
Yes
Six actors support the the message being given to the audience in this clip. Every day the main character visits these people/animals. The audience sees that through the man's generosity, kindness and compassion the lives of those he visits had changed in a good way.
Pathos – Appeals to the audience’s emotions
Yes
The advert makes the audience feel many emotions in different parts of the advert. The music that is played throughout the clip enhances the ad and it brings out the audience's emotions more.
Logos – Uses logic, numbers, or  facts to support the argument

Yes
The clip shows facts that their are poor people living on the streets that you can help.
Kairos – Builds a sense of urgency  for the cause
Yes
The audience is given a sense of urgency by the actions of the man who does all the good things for the people. It makes you want to be like him and help the people in the community.
Research – Uses studies and  
information to make the  
argument seem more convincing;  this can be in the form of words, graphs, tables, or illustrations.

Reading Is Important - Speech


Brainstorm

Reading Helps You learn
You learn new words that you can use to improve your own work/exams.
For future jobs you need to know how to read
You don’t learn to read you read to learn
Knowing how to read is the one of the most extremely important things to know in the whole entire world. How do you think world leaders like Barack Obama, Martin Luther King etc, became famous people. They had to know how to read to know how to to do there jobs properly. If I didn’t know how to read I would not be able to write this persuasive writing to convince you that reading is important.

Reason one of why reading is important, reading helps you gain knowledge and knowledge is very important in today's world (knowledge about weather, traffic etc.). You learn a variety of words that can expand your vocabulary which will help improve your grades in english and other subjects. It will also help improve your own personal job/work whether it be an author, journalist, businessman or newspaper writer.

My second reason why, is because you can experience different things/emotions, for example if you're reading an action book and it starts getting really interesting (fighting, explosions,)  you feel thrilled and possibly (if it is extremely interesting) you start to feel the adrenaline that the characters are feeling. If you're reading a story about love (romeo and juliet etc.) you feel sadness and other emotions alike. There are also comedy books that can be quite amusing. When you read comedy stories they make you laugh and cheer you up.

My third reason is looking at theft, documents and contracts. If you sign a contract for a dodgy person without reading and understanding what you are reading, you could be signing away your life or life’s money away. Then you would not have enough money to pay bills, mortgage,debts and in the worst case scenarios you might end up living on the streets.

No matter what situation you're in, language you speak, hieroglyphics your decoding or music notes your learning/teaching you will still have to know how read (unless you're Illiterate). You can also gain wisdom (from the Bible etc.) that you can pass down to generation to generation. Therefore reading is one of the most extremely important things in the world second to maths.

Our teacher also tells us this from time to time, you don’t learn to read you read to learn.
