$1 Challenge...

Today's competition has multiple purposes. Not only did you learn about your persuasive craft moves but you also learned the stakes involved in the successful delivery of a persuasive argument. There is always a price to pay! Today it is just a $1 - in the future - it might be getting into the college of your choice or being hired for the job of your dreams.

Remember: This is not about which 'cause'  is the best - it is about how effectively you can create use your 'persuasive craft moves'

• Your final pieces must be printed and  turned in anonymously. (Due: Mon)
• If you do not bring TWO printed versions to class, you cannot participate and you forfeit your $1
• Final pieces will be scored in small groups based on the paper's use of craft tecniques used.
• Maximum length is 1 side of typed text
• Smallest font: size 12

Points are deducted from papers that break any of the above requirements.  (e.g. you turn your piece in with your name on -5 points. Your piece is on your computer - DISQUALIFIED - It is impossible to be anonymous!)
