15 Ethos, Pathos, Logos Paragraphs // Due the week of Jan. 7, 2014

Hi Everyone!

This week's homework is fairly complicated, so hopefully this blog post can explain it well enough! Email me if you're still confused :)

8 Steps of Homework:

  1. Pick one of your 15 thesis statements (one you haven't written an outline on yet) that you find interesting and exciting to you!
  2. Write an outline for that thesis statement like we did last week. **See bottom of post for the outline format. 
  3. Make sure that each body paragraph has at least 1 instance each of Logos, Pathos, and Ethos:
    1. Logos: Facts, Statistics, Reasonings that prove your reason from your thesis
    2. Pathos: Emotional or personal story that demonstrates the truth of your reason from your thesis
    3. Ethos: Quotation or statement from an expert (i.e.: doctor, scientist, expert, etc) that backs up your reason from your thesis
  4. Write out all three body paragraphs (As paragraphs, not outlines), starting each with a topic sentence and ending each with a concluding sentence.
  5. Include and underline all 6 dress-ups:
    1. Because Clause
    2. Who/Which Clause
    3. Adverbial Clause
    4. Adverb
    5. Strong Verb
    6. Imagery
  6. Print off your 3 paragraphs, double-spaced
  7. Take three different colored markers/highlighters and for each paragraph:
    1. Highlight the example of Logos one color
    2. Highlight the example of Pathos a different color
    3. Highlight the example of Ethos a different color
  8. Make a key at the top or on the back for what colors correspond to what types of evidence
