Why is it so important to learn the art of persuasion? Being persuasive helps you acquire the things you want or the things you feel are necessary. Print out these scenarios and assign one to each group of high schoolers. As a team, they have to create an argument and present it to the class. It might be interesting to have two groups with each scenario so you can identify additional arguments.
