7 Writing Worksheet 2B: Writing a Persuasive Speech But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. James 3:17 Fallacies in Reasoning Avoid the following reasoning fallacies in your speech. Stereotype an oversimplified generalization often founded on either ignorance or malice and based solely on gender, race, cultural background, age, or physical characteristics The parents of Mr. Marley (Scrooge s opponent) came to these shores only thirty years ago. He can t understand this country s people and heritage like I do! (Just because a person s family came from elsewhere doesn t mean that he has no valuable insights to offer. He should be judged by his own ideas.) Ad Hominem attacking a person rather than the issue Mr. Marley is a greedy old miser. You shouldn t vote for him for governor! (Mr. Scrooge takes the focus off himself by hurling insults, completely unsupported, at his opponent.) Hasty Generalization basing a conclusion on too little evidence Vote for Mr. Scrooge the man of choice. (One hundred people were interviewed out of the entire state, and sixty-three said they would vote for Mr. Scrooge. These sixty-three were also people who stand to gain personally if he is placed into office.) Bandwagon or Popular Opinion encouraging others to join an allegedly overwhelming majority Everyone knows the right answer join us in voting for Mr. Scrooge for governor!

His actions were actually very prudent and beneficial to the state.) Testimonial citing a well-known personality as an authority on something that he or she is not qualified to speak about Hello. This is Mr. Local Celebrity. I ve just come from lunch with Mr. Scrooge. He is a trustworthy guy, and I know he is the best choice we have. He certainly has my vote!

15 Writing Worksheet 4C: Revision Checklist Name Use a check mark to indicate that you have considered each area of revision and taken the appropriate action to improve or correct it. Revising for Ideas Areas to Consider Actions to Take Purpose Is your purpose clear from your topic sentence or thesis statement? Focus on the main idea; eliminate irrelevant information. Check organization. Interest Does the beginning grab the reader s attention? Do details throughout the piece make the reader want to continue reading? Consider rewriting the beginning. Use an interesting fact, question, or anecdote that will interest your audience. Unity Is everything included that should be included? Is there anything unnecessary in the piece? Rewrite or eliminate sentences that do not relate to the topic of the paragraph. Coherence Is the relationship among ideas, sentences, and paragraphs obvious and logical? Include transitional expressions to link the various parts of the paper together. Revising for Style Areas to Consider Actions to Take Emphasis Precision Conciseness Smoothness Are the important ideas central or emphasized? Do wrong or unimportant ideas stand out? Have you chosen nouns and verbs that are imprecise or general? Are sentences overly convoluted and confusing? Is your writing redundant? Are sentences cumbersome because of their length? Does your writing contain awkward or rough parts? Place important ideas at the beginning or end of sentences. (The end is the strongest position in a sentence or paragraph.) Whenever possible, use very specific words. Consult your thesaurus for words with helpful nuances. Strengthen and clarify the relationships between a sentence s clauses. Break apart sentences if necessary. Circle words key to the sentence s content. Then considering the rest of the sentence, remove as many unnecessary words as you can without losing meaning. Possibly break sentences apart or reduce dependent clauses to shorter, simpler phrases. Rewrite using word choices and rhythms that sound natural. Remove excess words. Fresh Words Is your writing full of overused words and phrases? Replace clichéd words and phrases with new comparisons. for use with Unit 4
16 Writing Worksheet 4C: Revision Checklist (continued) Revising for Correctness: Proofreading Areas to Consider Actions to Take Sentence Structure Does your paper contain sentence errors? Use the computer grammar check to flag possible errors (though these programs are not always correct). Read carefully for each type of sentence error fragments, comma splices, and fused sentences. Usage Are there subjects and verbs that disagree? How about pronouns and antecedents? Have you used correct pronoun case and reference? Have any incorrectly used words crept into your paper? Check your paper twice for agreement errors first for subject-verb and then for pronoun-antecedent agreement problems. Correct pronoun usage problems. Check for troublesome word pairs (e.g., there/their or lay/lie) and other words that you easily use incorrectly. Spelling Do you have any spelling errors? Are you unsure whether a word is spelled correctly? Use the computer spell check for an initial check. Consult the dictionary for any potential misspellings. Review applicable spelling rules and exceptions. Punctuation Are your sentences punctuated correctly? Are you unsure whether a punctuation mark is used correctly? Read carefully for punctuation mistakes. Consult a style manual for punctuation rules and guidelines, particularly for punctuation you are unsure of. Capitalization Are your sentences capitalized correctly? Are you unsure whether a word should be capitalized? Correct capitalization errors. Consult a style manual for capitalization rules and guidelines. for use with Unit 4
