Something to do before, after, or during Spring Break

I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable Spring Break. As you are relaxing this week read chapter 17 in your textbook. This chapter talks about ways of incorporating ethos, logos, and pathos into your persuasive arguments. Compare the chapter to the video below; think about projects this speaker could propose to the class if she were part of your tribe.

While on your break, think about your topic for the next presentation. (Scroll down on my blog entries if you missed the details on this assignment.) Type out answers to the following questions and bring your paper to class:

1. What is your persuasive speech topic, and what project will you propose?
2. What are key audience attitudes/beliefs/core values toward your topic?
3. What is the central idea of your speech?
4. What type of evidence do you need to persuade the class? 
5. What can you do to motivate people to join your group?

Feel free to email me if you have any questions about your topic or this assignment.

See you after break!
