To explore this idea further, we watched an old video of a great persuasive speech. Although we chuckled a little bit about the 90's hair that we saw, there was a really good message. Click below to watch it!

Here is what the students had to say:
Lucas- I
thought that she was very motivational. She was almost insulting the adults but they
felt bad too so they took her side.
Jordan- I
agree with Lucas because she got the adults to realize that what they are doing
is wrong. Even though they can't fix it, they can help prevent it.
Bethany- I
agree with Lucas and Jordan because the adults can't fix what is happening but
can work to prevent it.
Silas- Her
perspective is that she thinks of the future. She is thinking of the
generations to come, not what is happening right now. For example, if there is
a war, they have to deal with it right now.
Julia- I
agree with Lucas. I like her metaphor “if you don’t know how to fix it, don’t
break it."
Wade- I
don’t like how she kept saying that she is just a child. It made her seem like
she was not capable of doing anything about it.
Blake- I
disagree with Wade. I like how she went back to the same fact that she was just
a child. She was actually smarter than them knowing and thinking about the
future.
Mikayla- I
think that she was very persuasive in saying that the adults should be doing
something about it. If I was an adult, I would feel pretty bad and want to
start helping.
Taylor- I
agree with Wade, she is not an adult yet, when she grows up, she can begin
doing some of the things she said.
Ethan- I
like how she could talk so strongly in front of all those adults. Her
confidence was good.
