I enjoyed watching Army commercials with you all and hope you have a better grasp of Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. One common way of using these persuasive strategies is to focus heavily on one, like we saw with the recruitment commercials. The Army primarily used Pathos. The Marines used Ethos. And the Sweden ad used Logos.
As you compose your persuasive speeches, consider what strategy outlined in the book will be most effective with your topic and with your audience. Remember, you are trying to convince members of the class to do what you are pitching to them. You have four minutes to give your pitch to the class. Your window is 3:30 to 4:00.
For Thursday, I want you to read Chapter 10 in your book. Focus on the section that discusses memorable word structure. This is something the rubric is looking for, so consider this section as you craft your speech. I also want you to skim Chapter 12.
Just FYI. Here are some important dates:
- Draft outline due October 23
- Final Outlines due October 30
- Speeches given from October 30 and November 1
