Persuasion and Film
Films are an interesting persuasive venue--they rely on multiple elements of persuasion, from advertising and marketing to get people to see them to the persuasive messages withing the story the film depicts and so on...think about how film can persuade, then name a film you have recently viewed and provide data, claim and a warrant for why we SHOULD see it too...or not. Remember: data is your evidence, the claim is your "should" statement and your main argument and the warrant is the larger shared assumption that unites data and claim,sort of like a bridge of logic...warrants are typically very short, straightforward, obvious and do not include imperatives (like should). I'll go first: Death at a Funeral was a hilarious British film. c: You should see it (d) because, despite its title, it is HILARIOUS!!!!!! w: People like humor.

WOW! Good so far, but remember Judy; warrants are simple and brief, and they must be more abstract than the data and claim, so yours would be more like: People enjoy action/comedy entertainment. Keep up the great work everyone, summer is right around the corner!!!!--S
