History of Persuasion Essay-Rough Draft
The purpose of this assignment is to show your understanding of
the concepts surrounding the genesis of persuasion as a focused area of study
among scholars. By analyzing the thoughts of the first and most prominent
persuasive theorists, you will be able to build upon a foundation of the laws
of thought as they govern all formation of concepts, judgments, and arguments.
It is not possible in the time provided to cover every theory of
persuasion from ancient times to present. Therefore, pick one persuasive
theorist from Ancients (e.g., Cicero, Plato, Aristotle, Protagoras, Gorgias)
and one modern theorist. For each, explain how they understood persuasion and
how this would have influenced their communication behaviors. Provide specific
illustrations to support the connections you make.
After thoughtfully reading the articles/chapters assigned this
week, write a 750-1,000-word rough draft essay in which you do one of the
following:
Describe the original understanding of sophistry and contrast that
understanding with its common understanding today.
Analyze the role of rhetoric in knowledge (according to the Gorgias).
How has this role changed today?
Use the GCU Library to locate at least two additional sources to
support your essay.

Community: Artifact
This is a CLC assignment.
As a group, select two artifacts for analysis – one not yet used
in class.
Find one artifact that has a distinct family reference, value
system, or story. Find another artifact that lacks family references, value
systems, or a story element.
For the first artifact, show how a family reference, value system,
and/or story factored into its persuasive nature. It is possible that your
first artifact could have elements of one or all of the elements we are working
with. One of the elements may be predominant or there may be a combination.
For the second artifact, rewrite or reconstruct the artifact so
that a family reference, value system, or story will make an effective change.
In reconstructing your second artifact, it may be possible to include just one
of the elements or all three. As a group, use your judgment and attempt to
explain and create the persuasion that you need.
Apply the theories and ideas from the Module 4 text, lectures, and
discussions to explain the persuasive nature of each artifact.
Prepare a PowerPoint presentation to show your learning. It should
include at least 10 slides including a title page with group members’ names,
each main point on its own slide with supporting evidence, a conclusion slide,
and a reference slide.
