Can we find persuasive techniques in a statement of evidence the writer gives.
For eg. Psychologist John simith says: Smoking is abhorrent.
Can we analsyse John Smith's words?

Yes. But not from the perspective of John Smith's intention -- only considering the motivation of the author who chose the evidence purposefully with his own intention in mind.

Great. Also, in the intro, do we mention who the audience of the article is directed to?

Do u guys think theres anything wrong with analysing a persuasive technique in the headline? Costa does this in his LA package....my yr11 teacher told me to do it...but im not too sure...

[kendraaaaa]

I usually do do the headline, in the same paragraph as the image as these are the 'stand out' features of the article. Also, the headline (should?) support the image's contention and vica versa, so you can explain how they are used in conjunction to persuade.

That advice is from the VATE lecturer, who is also an examiner.

[khalil]

Ohhhhhhhhhh....so then, then what paragraph is the image commetned on? last?

[kendraaaaa]

I do it first, since (also paraphrasing the lecturer) these are the two things a reader sees first, hence logicall you analyse them first. He then went on to say it really doesn't matter what the order is.

I guess it's a personal thing, but that's how I've always done it I wouldn't be changing my structure two nights before the exam though!

In the introduciton do we mention the proposed audience of the article?

Anyway, she also did say its not too important, that its what SHE sort  of prefers personally, u wont get marked down, as long as u dont put it in the MIDDLE, meh, its CONTENT that counts.

Lol, I had the guy from Scotch. He was awesome. This even helps to prove my point, it's very personal and in the end doesn't matter!

In the introduciton do we mention the proposed audience of the article?

I do yes, not explicitly though.

i.e

"In an article published in Bah Weekly, Mr. Kid urges farmers to realize the stress that milking puts goats under. Resonating well with pregnant goat readers, the article in a sour and milky tone goes on......."

not

"The target audience is pregnant goats"
