Review: Persuasive Writing Techniques

18 Setembro 2025, 15:30 Hilda Alexandra Prazeres Eusebio

Today, TP2 went through the PowerPoint on the 20 Persuasive Writing Techniques.  You all have these listed in a box in your course book, but if you missed today's class, you really should go through the PowerPoint at home to understand what each of the techniques is/does.  The PowerPoint is on the shared Google drive.

Next clas: we'll be reading - and identifying the techniques within - Diane Abbott's Guardian editorial (i.e. Text 1).
