Read through the handout Persuasive Theory Supplement. Then respond to this discussion and answer the questions below.

Make a list of at least 10 persuasive tactics – things you’ve done to persuade other people, or things other people have done to try to persuade you. For example if you go into a clothing store and try on a jacket and the salesperson tells you it looks great on you – complimenting is the persuasive tactic.
Go back through your list again and label each item as either coactive, combative or expressivistic (see the Persuasive Theory Supplement).
Think about the motivational appeals in regards to your own persuasive speech. How you do you think you might incorporate appealing to needs based on Maslow’s Hierarchy, or use positive or negative motivational appeals?
