  3. Journals • Please put today’s date on the first line: • 17 Oct. 2013 • Label this Journal: “Strategies for Ethos, Pathos and Logos”

  4. LOGOS:Definition • Logos • An appeal to logic and reason • Example: • School uniforms should be required because it would then be easier for staff to recognize intruders.

  5. LOGOS Strategies • Evidence • Examples and illustrations • Facts, statistics • Precedents, laws • Organization • Process • Comparison/contrast • Division/classification • Cause/effect • Definition, description

  6. PATHOS:Definition • Pathos • An appeal to emotional reaction • Example: • School uniforms should be required because it alleviates students’ fear of looking different and being picked on because of their clothes. • Suzy Jo McGuillicutty retells the story of when she was made fun of and beaten up because she wore the same blouse two days in a row. Sobbing, she conjures up painful memories of not fitting in.

  7. PATHOS • Strategies • Inspiring feeling/empathy/sympathy • Anger, pride, guilt, love, shame, hope, etc. • Awareness of opposition • Awareness of audience's cultural and emotional background • Race, age, sex, physical characteristics, habits • Economic or educational level • Religious or political affiliation • Ethnicity, country of birth, citizenship, location • Awareness of audience concerns • Needs, values, beliefs of groups audience belongs to

  8. ETHOS:Definition • Ethos • An appeal based on your own credibility. • Example: • In my own observations as a student teacher in the Clark County School District in Las Vegas, NV, I discovered that on “uniform days,” behavior referrals decreased to nearly none, whereas on “dress free days”, referrals spiked to as much as ten times as many.

  9. ETHOS • Strategies • Credibility (common sense) • Familiarity with subject • Awareness of broad perspective • Character (virtue) • Respect others' values • Value welfare of others • Show integrity, trustworthiness, open-mindedness • Confidence (good will) • Show self-understanding • Understand audience’s needs • Treat audience as equal

  10. Evaluate Brutus’s funeral speech • Which methods of persuasion does he use? • Logos, pathos, ethos? • Why? • Within these methods, what rhetorical/literary devices are used to support his argument? • Verbal Irony: speaker says one thing but means the exact opposite • Rhetorical Questions: a question asked to produce an effect, not to elicit a response • Connotation:an idea or feeling that a word invokes in addition to its literal meaning (10.19.11 if needed) • Repetition:repeating a word or phrase to produce an effect
