To survive, each of you must write a persuasive letter to Dr. Yoyvitch and the Selection Committee convincing them that you are worthy. In alignment with the democratic process, each of you is a member of that committee and will vote on the most effectively persuasive and deserving citizen. Dr. Yoyvitch and the Selection Committee are looking for two worthy candidates in our community. Will it be you? That will depend on your rhetorical abilities. In order to be persuasive, you will need to consider the elements of communication (SOAPSTone), incorporate Aristotle’s appeals, and include multiple persuasive techniques. May the best man or woman win.”
