Convincing

We began class by introducing ourselves to someone we did not know, learned about that person and introduced that person to the rest of the class. We were also asked to draw basically a half circle. (think the mouth of a smiley face)  This half circle represents the Portneuf river. We individually labeled as many areas and points of interests on the river as we could think of. after working individually we were asked to work with a small group and collaborate on the same task. I was shoked to discover how little I know about the flow of the river that is in my area. 

I would challenge those of you participating as DIGI to try this task out for yourself before viewing the attached image too closely. See what you know. Note: the attached image is the collaborative result ank not my own knowledge. 

We learned about the power of Narratives in persuasion and gaining audience interest.  We discovered for ourselves what type of persuasion might influence us individually to take action for a cause. Collaboratively we created posters based on our prefernce related to the Portneuf river and Edison Ficther pond area. 

Persuasion type 1 Duty-Based

Individual resposibility

Persuasion type 2 Science

Data and Fact 

Persuasion type 3 Engaged

Protest for the greater good

The gerneral idea is that Knowing the types of persuasion, can improve your ability to have your voice heard and accepted by your audience. Consideer what types of persuasion most influence you.
