·        Using a social media format that you are familiar with (e.g., Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, GoFundMe, etc.), create the wording for a persuasive post that is appropriate to that genre.

·        Your post should have a clear purpose and communicate relevant details.

Considering your Part A writing, please answer the following reflection questions. Use specific evidence where possible:

"Plant FOR Life"

1.   Who is the primary audience for this post?

• Earth Warriors, Environmental Advocates and Organizations.

State three examples of ways that your writing targets your primary audience:

• Plant FOR Life doesn't mean plant for life but planting for conserving life of all mankind longer by planting trees. This will call the attention of my primary audience to (1)ask, (2)to join and even (3)to help me to promote my advocacy since the benefit also of their advocacy.

2.   What is the purpose of this post?

• The purpose of this post is for the people to be aware that our life is in danger if we do not move by conserving and helping our environment to heal and be protected. This also calls for those environmental advocates and organization to support them for what they are fighting for a long time. This also to wake up youth that their future will not be as safe as today if their world is being destroyed and not being preserved.

3.   What genre is your post?

• Environment (Environmental Issues)

State two examples of how you have fulfilled genre conventions.

• By calling this post as an advocacy then all will be placed on the right track.
• By asking support from the advocates, organizations that will help me to fulfilled my genre conventions.

4.   Name and explain two rhetorical devices that you used in your post.

• If I'm using media platforms then I'll go tag the persons I know that do the same thing that saves Earth, I'll tag organizations and advocates also.
• Making hashtags and supporting details below "Plant FOR Life" - You can be an Earth Warrior and save the Earth. #BeAnEarthWarriorNOW #LetsSaveOurMotherEarth #PlantFORLife #LetsUsAllCorserveLife

This rhetorical devices that will be used will really help you in calling the attention of those who are you're primary audience. It will also work as a promotion that your message is not a joke and seriously you are making an advocacy. It is also indeed a persuasion that anyone can join. Anyone can save the Earth especially the youth.

5.  Name two counterarguments that you anticipate people may raise against your position.

• You think planting trees will really help to save the Earth?
• Do you think by simply posting you can implement all that?

What have you done in your post to address these arguments?

• I'll answer them by not criticizing them but with the words of encouragement for them to believe in that advocacy. I'll answer on the number one that "yes, I believe by helping each other planting trees to the different part of the world will help. Yes it is a small but with each other it is a huge contribution all mankind could do to little by little conserve the Earth". On number two "yes, by serious and consistent advocacy, all will be placed (implemented) at the right track., with the support and help of everybody all will be well done".
