Class on 5/5

Your homework this week is to write a persuasive blog post using the three appeals we have studied. Your blog post is to be at least 1000 words, and the topic is up to you to choose. There are no other requirements except that it should be clear to me and the peers in your group that you have used all three appeals in your writing.


Groups:
-Devin, Abby, Faith
-David, Jenna
-Kristen, Makayla, Will

NO HOMEWORK THIS WEEK AND DON'T SAY I NEVER DO ANYTHING NICE FOR YOU.

In class this week, we studied Aristotle's concepts of persuasive rhetoric: Pathos, Ethos, and Logos. 

We will continue studying persuasive rhetoric next week. 

I will be printing out and editing/revising your last four blog posts and will have the edited versions to you at class on 4/28. Your homework that week will be to go back and make any necessary edits/revisions.

Your homework the week of May 5th will be to write a persuasive blog post using all three of the appeals we are studying. Any future posts will be free-choice.
