Project Description: Now it is time to argue your position. Drawing on the research and analysis you
conducted in the previous essay, you will persuade your stakeholder/stakeholder group with a respectful
and effectively crafted argument. Because you are speaking to your audience, rather than about them, you
will demonstrate your understanding of the stakeholder and employ persuasive strategies without overtly
presenting the research about the stakeholder from previous assignments. Keep in mind that persuasion is
not refuting someone else’s views but rather engaging their beliefs and values to encourage them to
consider or adopt a different perspective on the issue. Also, remember that you want to avoid repeating
arguments that have already been made to this stakeholder/stakeholder group because they were
ineffective.
Requirements: A successful essay will:
●Develop an argument that persuades a particular stakeholder/stakeholder group to change their
position on the issue
