Me i am timed on this question!

think about a time when you tried to convince someone to do something. what strategy did you use? were you successful? why or why not?

Guidelines for anyone else who wants to do this...

Explanation:

Talk about the incident or event: “My mother was reluctant to let me go on an overnight trip with the rest of my class.” Talk about the strategy you used: “I told my mom that I was old enough to make my own decisions. I also told her I would take care of myself and a teacher would be with us on the trip.” Did the strategy work? “Yes. Mom agreed to let me go.” What contributed to the success (or lack of success) of your argument? “I put forth convincing arguments. I made an emotional argument by talking about how I was old enough and by telling her that she could always trust me. I also made a logical argument by saying a teacher would accompany us.”
