This week, we went back to the sources you collected last week and started looking for information that would be useful to your research papers!
Materials you'll need:
- 12 notecards of 3 different colors (4 of each color)
- If you don't have colored notecards, you can distinguish them in other ways like shapes in the corners, or you can cut colored paper into notecards.
- I gave you notecards in class, so if you have lost those, you'll need to find your own.
Assign one color of notecard to each reason from your thesis. For example, if your thesis is:
- Cats are the best animal because they are clean, cheap, and cute.
- Then all evidence about their cleanliness will be blue, all evidence about their cheapness will be pink, and all evidence about the cuteness will be yellow.
Write one piece of information on each notecard, until you have 12 notecards of information.
Be sure you label the notecards in their corners with which source the information came from—you can write the number of the source (from your works cited page) or the last name of the author—or whatever you want, as long as you remember where you got the information.
Consider the following types of evidence to write down:
- Logos: Facts, Statistics, Numbers, Reasonings
- Pathos: Personal stories, emotional stories
- Ethos: Expert opinion: Doctors, Scientists, Politicians, people who've experienced it before
