Convincing Your Audience: The Art of Persuasion

Learning the correct tools of persuasion will help you to eloquently structure an opinion, convince your audience, and strengthen an argument. In this course, participants will study the rhetorical triangle, learn to identify effective sources, and read “Letter From Birmingham Jail” by Martin Luther King Jr.

This class is taught by a graduate student in the University of Missouri-Kansas City’s MFA Program in Creative Writing.
