...Integrated task 1 ( Persuasive speaking ) Task: Deliver a persuasive speech to a particular audience on a significant issue that affects the future of the UAE – related to the Learning Plan. Skills, knowledge and understanding: Develops an opinion with supporting evidence Applies the appropriate language to persuade the particular audience Sample Persuasive Speech: Using cell phones while driving is dangerous Cell phones are troublesome while driving. When a driver keeps talking or listening to music he or is not supposed to focus off the road. A cell phone makes a great difference. It is not forbidden to talk to a passenger but it is not recommended to talk to an invisible cell phone communicator. The use of cell phones is the most common distraction, but the use of a hand-held cell phone increases the risk by 1.3 times, which is less than reaching for items on the seat or in the glove compartment. New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, California, Washington State, Utah, and Washington, D.C. prohibit drivers from using hand-held cell phones, irrespective of weather conditions: at all times, not only on wet and icy roads when a driver decides on dialing or text messaging. According to recent research, a driver talking over a cell phone is four times more endangered to collide with another vehicle than a driver who does not use a cell phone while driving. Cell phone distraction...

This is truly a celebration - a celebration of the contributions women make in every aspect of life: in the home, on the job, in their communities, as mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, learners, workers, citizens and leaders. It is also a coming together, much the way women come together every day in every country. We come together in fields and in factories. In village markets and supermarkets. In living rooms and board rooms. Whether it is while playing with our children in the park, or washing clothes in a river, or taking a break at the office water cooler, we come together and talk about our aspirations and concerns. And time and again, our talk turns to our children and our families...

...Republic of the Philippines Department of Education DepEd Complex, Meralco Avenue Pasig City K to 12 Curriculum Guide ENGLISH (Grade 10) K to 12 Curriculum Guide ENGLISH (Grade 10) December 2013 THE FRAMEWORK I. PHILOSOPHY AND RATIONALE Language is the basis of all communication and the primary instrument of thought. Thinking, learning, and language are interrelated. Language is governed by rules and systems (language conventions) which are used to explore and communicate meaning. It defines culture which is essential in understanding oneself (personal identity), forming interpersonal relationships (socialization), extending experiences, reflecting on thought and action, and contributing to a better society. Language, therefore, is central to the peoples’ intellectual, social and emotional development and has an essential role in all key learning areas1. Language is the foundation of all human relationships. All human relationships are established on the ability of people to communicate effectively with each other. Our thoughts, values and understandings are developed and expressed through language. This process allows students to understand better the world in which they live and contributes to the development of their personal perspectives of the global community. People use language to make sense of and bring order to their world. Therefore, proficiency in the language enables people to access, process and keep abreast of information, to engage with...

...a long while since public speakers are concerned with various dimensions of speech such as sounds, gestures, syntax, rhetoric, meanings, speech acts, moves, strategies and turns. In this paper our main focus is on the rhetoric of a speech. As we know where rhetoric is concerned we should inevitably deal with literature. In other words rhetoric is like a joint which connect literature with politics and establish a method of analyzing political speeches called polio-linguistic approach. Thus we can consider political discourses as pieces of literature. Literary techniques especially rhetorical devices serve as one of the most distinctive features of the greatest and most influential speeches of all time. There is no shortage of rhetorical devices used in these speeches, but we can prioritize them by count of repetitions in political discourses. In this study first I have represented the necessity of using these types of persuasive skills in political discourses, the methods within which politicians take advantages of these skills and the different sides of a successful speech. Then after a glance through different rhetorical devices, excerpts from four of the greatest speeches in history are provided with the rhetorical devices indicated in them. Finally a quite deep examination of the most important of these rhetorical devices is presented and the conclusion is made through comparing these samples. The primary purpose of every presenter or rhetorician is to grab people`s...

... ENGLISH I The JPPSS Instructional Sequence Guides are aligned with the LA Comprehensive Curriculum. JPPSS Implementation of Activities in the Classroom Incorporation of activities into lesson plans is critical to the successful implementation of the Louisiana Comprehensive Curriculum. The Comprehensive Curriculum indicates one way to align instruction with Louisiana standards, benchmarks, and grade-level expectations. The curriculum is aligned with state content standards, as defined by grade-level expectations (GLEs), and organized into coherent, time-bound units with sample activities and classroom assessments to guide teaching and learning. The units in the curriculum have been arranged so that the content to be assessed will be taught before the state testing dates. While teachers may substitute equivalent activities and assessments based on the instructional needs, learning styles, and interests of their students, the Comprehensive Curriculum should be a primary resource when planning instruction. Grade level expectations—not the textbook—should determine the content to be taught. Textbooks and other instructional materials should be used as resource in teaching the grade level expectations. Lesson plans should be designed to introduce students to one or more of the activities, to provide background information...

...Elaboration Likelihood Model June 26, 2012 Why do these people have these jobs? Why is this text so disturbing? The Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) The Elaboration Likelihood Model was developed by Richard Petty and John Cacioppo The ELM proposes two routes to persusaion. The central route involves careful scrutiny of message logic and arguments The peripheral route involves consideration of cues in the message environment such as source credibility and message design The ELM: Which Route do you Take? The ELM proposes that people will take the central or peripheral route based on several factors Motivation. If people see the message as relevant, they will be motivated to process centrally Ability. People must have the ability and be in a situation where central processing is possible The ELM: Outcomes of the Two Routes Messages processed through the central route will lead to attitude change that is relatively enduring, resistant, and predictive of behavior. Messages processed through the peripheral route will lead to attitude change that more temporary, more easily changed, and less likely to predict actual behavior Consider this handout as you work in groups Exploring the Peripheral The peripheral route processes the message without any active thinking about the attributes of the issue or the object of consideration. Recipients rely on cues to make quick decisions, including Reciprocation – in a social universe, turn taking and sharing are...

...the work under consideration. Like the summary, the goal is to provide in clear, precise language, the main points of a piece. Essential information within the rhetorical précis include the writer’s name, the genre and name of the piece, the way in which this information is delivered, the main point, how the point is developed, and the relationship between the writer and audience. This information is presented in four very specific sentences as outlined below. 1. Sentence one provides the name of the author, the genre (essay, novel, speech...etc.) and title of the work with the date (in parentheses), a concise appropriate action verb, such as “claims, posits, argues, or asserts” followed by a “that” phrase in which the thesis of the work is stated (either paraphrased or directly quoted). “Paraphrasing” a passage, means putting that passage into your own words (use your own language). When directly “quoting” a passage, you must write the text using the exact words of the original author, and you must encase the select passage in quotation marks. Please remember that whenever you paraphrase or directly quote a passage, you must follow that passage with a parenthetical citation, meaning that within parentheses, you must insert the author’s last name and the page number from which you gathered the passage. If your source does not have a page number then post the paragraph number i.e. (Salinger 18) or (Salinger par. 20) 2. Sentence two provides an explanation of how the author...
