Journal on Rhetoric & Persuasive Appeals
Write a 250-300 word journal in response to the lectures, take advantage of the two videos below:
*How to use rhetoric to get what you want. Camile A. Langston
*How to identify Ethos, Logos and pathos by Shmoop
Please answer the following questions in a one page+ journal:
- Do you have any previous experience with rhetorical analysis? What did you do? (no worries if it is nothing).
- Think of one time in real life that you have seen the use of pathos, ethos, or logos? (think news, speeches or commercials). What was it? Do you view it differently, now that you know a little more about it?
- What are three takeaways that you had from the lecture? What do you want to make sure that you remember for when we discuss and write argument and using persuasive appeals? (Remember, actively writing down information helps your brain take that information from short term to long term memory and boosts your recall.)
- Did you prefer the power point presentation or the videos? Which helped you understand the material better? Why?
- Do you have any questions about the materials provided in the lecture?
Remember to be specific in your answers.
Requirements:
- Please respond in a full paragraph (5-7 sentences) for question 1, 2 and 3. Question 4 can be a short answer (2-3 sentences). Question 5 can be answered with a yes/no.
