Today we reviewed and finished the Power Point that we did on Friday and reviewed Aristotle's Three Appeals of Persuasion (logos, ethos, and pathos, or Reason, Character, and Emotion). Make sure you have taken notes on these as we will be referring to them often. Please review the Power Point below. We will be exploring persuasion in its various forms in this unit, but will mainly be focusing on writing, namely editorial and commentary. Read the commentary "A Bullet's Impact" by Mitch Albom and answer the questions on the last slide of the PowerPoint. Come to class ready to discuss this article on Tuesday. As you read, consider Albom's "point" in writing this - what is he trying to persuade his audience to do or to think?
