Persuasive writing - Pet Peeves

Using the book 'Talking History', we have been reading persuasive speeches made by a variety of people, including Abraham Lincoln and Greta Thunberg. We analysed what makes a persuasive speech successful and discovered a large range of devices e.g. modal verbs, hyperbole, statistics, rhetorical questions and repetition.  We chose a pet peeve that we would like to banish to Room 101 and wrote a speech persuading listeners of a podcast to choose it. Here are excerpts from our speeches.
