10. Persuasion

11. Claim State your argument. Example: I am going to try to convince you that chocolate is a healthy snack.

12. Logos Facts, numbers, and information can be very convincing. Example: A Snickers bar has 280 calories and 30 grams of sugar. That’s not very healthy.

13. Examples of Logos • Facts - can be proven. • Expert opinions or quotations • Definitions - statement of meaning of word or phrase • Statistics - offer scientific support • Examples - powerful illustrations • Anecdote - incident, often based on writer's personal experiences • Emotional appeals - to provide support for reasons, carefully chosen loaded words, carrying positive or negative connotations, sway readers' emotions • Present opposition - and give reasons and evidence to prove the opposition wrong • Conclude with call to action - urge the reader to do something

14. Big Names Important people or experts can make your argument seem more convincing. Example: Former U.S. president Bill Clinton thinks that junk food should be taken out of vending machines.

15. Pathos Getting people to feel happy, sad, afraid, or angry can help your argument. Example: Your donation might just get this puppy off the street and into a good home.

16. Pathos Con’d Pathos, or the emotional appeal, means to persuade an audience by appealing to their emotions. • Authors use pathos to invoke sympathy from an audience; to get them to feel what the writer feels. A common use of pathos would be to draw pity from an audience. Another use of pathos would be to inspire anger from an audience; perhaps in order to prompt action. Pathos is the Greek word for both “suffering” and “experience.” The word pathetic is derived from pathos. • Pathos can be developed by using meaningful language, emotional tone, emotion evoking examples, stories of emotional events, and implied meanings. 

17. Ethos If people believe and trust in you, you’re more likely to persuade them. Example: Believe me! I’ve been there before. I’m just like you.

18. Ethos Con’d Ethos, or the ethical appeal, means to convince an audience of the author’s credibility or character. • An author would use ethos to show to his audience that he is a credible source and is worth listening too. Ethos is the Greek word for “character.” The word “ethic” is derived from ethos. • Ethos can be developed by choosing language that is appropriate for the audience and topic (also means choosing proper level of vocabulary), making yourself sound fair or unbiased, introducing your expertise or pedigree, and by using correct grammar and syntax.

19. Checking for Understanding… • Let’s revisit the Conrad Murray case: http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/closing-arguments-in-conrad-murray-trial/2011/11/03/gIQAsPy9iM_story.html 2.
