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