Alternative task - TATTOOS.

The issue is whether or not the popular trend of tattoos should be accepted so readily, especially among young people.

While some consider them artistic and 'cool', others find them offensive and even dangerouse.

Open the resource and follow instructions.

This can be done in class with teacher assistance.

You will need a list of persuasive techniques to help you identify appeals and discuss how language is used to persuade.
