Creating a Persuasive VIDEO 

Your next assignment will be this: convince the audience (me) that the product you are selling is something I should want to buy. 

Here is the catch: the product you will have to sell is a small, practically useless, but not completely useless product. 

Here is a list of some of the things you will have to choose from:

 – a PEN with no lid

– a pencil with no eraser

– a small 6 ounce bottle of water

– one glove

– a dull butter knife

– a broken rubber band

– a VHS tape – if you dont know what a VHS tape is, now you know why it is on this list

– one shoe lace

-a coffee mug with a broken or missing handle

– a magazine subscription ( you can make up the magazine or choose a real one)

Here is another catch: the sales video you create can ONLY be ONE MINUTE long.
