1 FEBRUARY: Comparing Media

Essential Question: How do editorials compare to other forms of persuasive media?

In order to understand how editorials are subtly different from other forms of persuasive media, you will be filling in the following chart.

In this chart, you will analyze media from each category.  If you would like to use more than 1 example, make sure that you cite all examples in the second column.  You should reference examples using domain names, as per: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/02/ .
