Problem
1. In the first paragraph, describe an example of effective persuasive communication in personal contexts such as social media posts, emails to friends, or communications to your child's teachers and explain the considerations you must keep in mind to communicate effectively in these personal communications.
2. In the second paragraph, describe an example of effective persuasive communication in professional contexts. You can consider your own field of study and the expectations for writing effectively in that field and explain how that communication example illustrates the expectations for professional persuasive communication, or you could describe a communication you received in a professional context, such as a letter from a lawyer or business.
3. In the third paragraph, describe an example of effective persuasive communication in an academic context like a discussion board, assignment, or group presentation. In this paragraph, consider how academic persuasive standards differ from personal and professional writing.
4. Finally, you will often need to work as part of a team in academic and professional contexts. In the fourth paragraph, discuss how you could use collaboration and teamwork, including the strategies described by Steven Johnson in his TED Talk "Where Good Ideas Come From," to persuade others and communicate ideas effectively and ethically to others.
