Online Class for November 12, 2009

This is an extra credit assignment. The assignment is not required, but if you complete the assignment it is worth up to 3 points on the next exam.

Your objective is to locate a video clip, from a movie, a TV commercial, YouTube, or some other source that illustrates a specific theory, concept, principle, or strategy of persuasion.

Provide the video clip itself (on a DVD, via a URL, etc.) and explain what specific persuasion concepts it illustrates and how.

Be specific.  Don't select an entire movie (like Spiderman) and say "it illustrates persuasion." The video clip must be brief (30 sec to 2 minutes or so).  The application to persuasion must be specific as well. Any concept covered in class or in the text is acceptable.

Bring the clip (on a flash drive, DVD, or URL) to class on Tuesday. 17.  Be prepared to show your clip to the class and explain what persuasion principle it demonstrates.

Happy hunting!
