Persuasive Writing: Documentary Review

Why? Huh? Why are we writing about a movie in commercial arts / horticulture / environmental tech? Writing is important. Trust us. Speaking coherently is important. Trust us. The more clearly you can explain yourself, the better everyone understands you. Who doesn’t want to be understood? Whenever we can get you to WRITE, we will welcome the opportunity. With texting and replacing traditional handwriting for many, even typing a paper seems out of style. It’s not. Trust us. How is Emmanuel supposed to teach me about motivation? Determining what and who motivates you will help make you a more well rounded individual.

Why? Huh? Why Emmanuel’s Gift? Because Emmanuel Yeboah is an inspiration to a variety of people for a variety of reason. His outlook, attitude and perseverance are attributes we should all be so luck to cultivate in our own lives. What Emmanuel does with his own life makes us interested in what you could do with your life if you had the opportunity? Say you could do anything… what would you do? What realistic difference would you make? What difference can you make right now?

Assignment Write a paragraph critical review of the documentary Emmanuel’s Gift. OR Write at least a 3 paragraph essay about 1) what or who motivates you in your life 2) something you have achieved or done which you originally thought you could never do and 3) what could you do if you decided you wanted to change something about the world you live in. Talk about what is stopping you. Proofread… check your usage and please don’t net plagiarize either.
