Tink,

What you need to do for the paragraph is write a 3rd person paragraph persuading the reader to either vote for or against the candidate (actually the ticket, Obama/Biden or McCain/Palin) that you read and listened to.
The paragraph should be at least 8-10 sent. long, and you should to try to incorporate the persuasive techniques that we talked about in class.

If you need more info, feel free to give me a call.
