Do you agree? Explain what persuasive technique you found to be the most convincing.
The persuasive technique he used were facts that draw the reader to believe what the author is saying. Like colleges looking for this extracurricular activity, also saying that it will look good on a resume.
ReplyDeleteThe persuasive technique I found most convincing is a good extracurricular activity that colleges look at and you need college to get good jobs
ReplyDeleteThe persuasive technique i found is true statements that provides information to encourage you to follow what they do.

ReplyDeleteThe one that I found was the most persuasive was #7:You get to hang out with friends while learning something and still having a good time. I agree with most of them
Yess I agree. I found #4 most convincing because being a teenager you want to get into college and the college seeing that might make them think that person will do good. The persuasive technique is giving evidence or facts about how colleges will like that. They also state opinions like #10 that says it's an opportunity to change your life because it might not change everybody's life.
ReplyDeleteyeah, i agree. the most convincing and persuasive to me was #2 because a lot of teens (including me) want to make money, loads of money. Since #2 said that you get a strong chance of making money, the reader is just persuaded to join.
ReplyDeleteYes, i agree. I think that #5 was the most convinsing because with a good resume, you can get better jobs. When you get better jobs than you have a better chance at making more money and the club will have paid off. It never jurts to do any extra work to earn the most money possible.

ReplyDeleteYes, i agree. I think that #5 was the most convinsing because with a good resume, you can get better jobs. When you get better jobs than you have a better chance at making more money and the club will have paid off. It never jurts to do any extra work to earn the most money possible.
yes i agree but the reason i was persuaded to agree was number 3 "You have something more valuable than money, something that you will not have for much longer and that you should take advantage of: You have time." which is very true kids have more time to learn this stuf than an adult would
ReplyDeleteSindy sandoval
ReplyDeleteI agree in all of the reason.but the persuasive technique that i found was #10 because you will have the oportunity to change your life how you want it to be

It's a good extracurricular activity that colleges will look at.
ReplyDeleteNicole Jackson-
ReplyDeleteI don't really agree with the author accept for one reason they said. The persausive technique i found most convinving was, "You'll have a strong chance of making money." because i think it is the only thing that you get out of the investing club.
I think its good because it will teach the teenagers a lesson about money and what to do with it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the teenager because all of the facts/persuasive statements will actually help you in the future. You will earn money. But if you don't know what to do with it other then buying junk then you should go to an investment club. It actually will look goodnon your resume because investing money is an important job. I myself isn't really interested, but it sounds lije it will help you even if thats not the job you want it will help you in the long run.
ReplyDeleteBrittany Jones
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. The persuasive statements that were most convincing were #2 & 4 because #2 discussed how you can have a strong possibility of making money, which can make you successful. Also, #4 discuss how colleges would notice you because you do this activity; which can get you into a good or great college.

ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. The persuasive technique that was most convincing was #2, you'll have a strong chance of making money. That satement made sense to me the most because, investing money has to do with making money.

ReplyDelete-- Yess, I agree. I found #4 and 5 most convincing because since most teenagers would want to go to college they would do everything possible to make their resumé look good to the people who would admit you into college. The persuasive technique is adding facts and stating what will make you want to join the club and also some facts.
Moises Zamora
ReplyDeleteThe ones that I find most convincing were the numbers 2 and 4 because both are positive
Vidhi Patel
ReplyDeleteYes i agree. I found number 7 the most convincing. It says that you can hang out with friends while learning something and sill have a good time. I agree with that because teenagers want to spend time with there friends while learn something new and still have fun.
Ravendra Nand
ReplyDeleteI agree with most of the reason because you can change your life and enjoy yourself if you paticipate in the investment club. The persuasive technique that the author used was that he used facts to list the reason why you should join.
Leke Ajenifuja,
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Brian had to say. It seems like it is a very good way to start off. Then you would be able to many other choices in business. The best persuasive technique that i thought was most affective was the way he added all the positive things and made it seem like if you did this your life would be a whole lot better
i agree with #4 because colleges want to make sure you are a well rounded person.Also colleges look at it to see if you done something else besides school work and work in the community
ReplyDeleteI agree with #4 because of the fact that colleges would look at this as a good extracurricular activity on your college application. So, I would join this to get into a good college.
ReplyDeleteI Agree with # 7 , You get to hang out with friends while learning something and still having a good time. Most Teenage college students would still want to hang out with there friends , & have a good time.
ReplyDeleteI think # 10, because it is very hard to change your life when you are already in trouble and having the chance to do that is a great opportunity.
ReplyDeleteNash Persaud.
I agree, and I think the best persuasive technique is that they keep telling you that you will get money. Everyone wants money, and telling people that they will get a chance to earn some, automatically makes people interested. Even if someone doesn't want to join for the money aspect, it is an added perk that everyone likes, and it can draw you into doing something.
ReplyDeleteMary Wester
I agree with what the author had to say because it seems like a very good use of your time. I found that the best persuasive technique is saying all the good qualities of joining a investment club that everyone wants like money and popularity.
ReplyDeletePhuong Tran
I agree with #7 because I think a teen would enjoy more learning with their friends so they kan still have a good time
ReplyDeleteI think that #1 is more persuasive because teens tend to forget alot. when you miss out on something it could get you in some trouble later on in life.
ReplyDeleteI think that the technique that was the best was the one that used facts because it surprises the reader with something that a normal person would not know
ReplyDeleteI agree with #7 because when your with your friends learning is not so boring and its more fun.
ReplyDeleteI think #2 was a good tecniic to use because teenagers spend alot of money so teling them they will have a strong chance of making money will make them more intrested then something they wil not have a chance of getting paid for

ReplyDeleteChanel Person
ReplyDeleteI think that number six was persuasive because when I grow up I want to have my own business and number six says that the investment club will help you meet people in the business world. This will definitely help me succeed in the in the business world and wold help my business thrive.

I do agree, the persuasive tecnique the author used was basicaly just telling you everything you want to hear to get you to join. Alot of people want to go to college (4) and have good resumes (5), get to know busniss people (6), and have all the things you need for life. By telling me things that will help me, makes me want to possibly join.
Ricardo Rivera
ReplyDeletei agree with #2 and 9 cause i want to make money and also i want lots of respect
Rebecca Bailey
ReplyDeleteI agree.
#7 was most persasive. It implies that since you will hang out with friends, they are taking the club. This creates a bandwagon tequnique. I like to hang out with my friends. That's why it's most persuasive.
I agree. i think the most persuasive was #1 and 2 because in school teachers only teach you about stuff that 'might' help you in school but this teaches you about what 'will'. Making money is the most important in out economy right now, it would help everyone to learn at an earlier age.

ReplyDeleteyes I do agree. I thought that #4 was the persuasive because I think a college education is extremely important to succeeding in life
i agree,the author uses pusaudesive things like if someone tells you that if you work at this job or is you do something you get money easily or if domeone tells you if you do something you will earn your classmates respect.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. I think that #5 was the most convincing because all teenagers want to spend time with their friends while learing something new.
ReplyDeleteWalter Gonzalez
ReplyDeleteI agree with this. I think that the most persuasive one was #7 because teens would actually have fun learning with their friends.
David Reichard
ReplyDeleteI do agree with this article. The most persuasive parts of the text would be the repetition of the word "you" this makes the reader really contemplate about this program and what it can do for them. For example,"You'll have the opportunity to change your life." makes the reader think about their life.
I think that number one was the most convincing You'll learn about something that schools forget to teach you, something that will have a huge impact on your life. I think this because the more things you know can better your future

gabby salvador
ReplyDeletei agree to this. the persuasive technique that i found to be the most convincing are 4, 5,& 6. because it will be better for you in college.
jovon Durham
ReplyDeletei disagree because it talks about all the possiblites of joining this club where doesn't even talks about what they do like they could be also doing things that most people may not like. the most persavie tech.i found was it's the extaracularr activiy that colleges will look at since now and days most people are trying to get into college and can be fool by this.

ReplyDeleteI agree to this. The most convincing persuasive technique was "You get to hang out with friends while learning something and still having a good time" because young people like to hang out with friends and have a enjoy their time.
ReplyDeleteChiamaka ofulue
#7 is most convicing for me because when getting into college you want to do whatever you can to get in.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with question 2. I know that as a teen I would like to make money.
ReplyDeleteRICHARD AYODELE
i reaaly agree with question 2 because i like to make money alot and it will be fun to .....
ReplyDeleteJessi Soto
krunal patel
ReplyDeletethe most persuasive techntque i found was #2 because every one like to make money for fun or important.
Eduardo Martinez
ReplyDeleteI agree with this bit of infromation and agree with #3 and 4 beacuse we do have time right now and not even money can buy you more. Then if you waste it and colleges ask for it you won't be able to show it.
I do agree that joining an investment club is a good idea. The persuasive technique that I found the most convincing was the appeal to my academics. The magazine says, ”It’s a good extracurricular activity that colleges will look at.” College is essential to a good a job and future, so having that I participated in an investment club on a resume may help me get accepted into a good school. I think academics are the most important of all the benefits listed, so that would be the technique that convinced me to participate in an investment club.

ReplyDeleteI think that their comments are very persuasive but I wonder if it will take away from any other activitys that I might have.
Angeline Lam. I thiink that the tip were posted up were very persausive ,but the thing is that life ,love ,and job is more important than changing your life. You can always change your life when you want to.I mean you might even loose the most important things in your life.
