  1. If you don’t agree, I’ll kill you I will learn to convince my readers that my views are correct. I can adapt my tone and structure my arguments effectively.

  2. For any question in which you have to give your views…(Reading Q1/Writing Q1/Writing section B) • Make sure you have a view. • List your arguments • Group them. • Label them with counter-arguments • PLAN to use sentence level devices (see tomorrow) • Decide which approach is suitable for the topic/reader. • Create an anecdote to include • Try to plan an extended metaphor • Mind map contrasts for if they agree and if they disagree.

  3. Does music unite or divide people? Pathos- emotions of music and humanity together. Some logos- logical thinking needed because it’s quite practical. It unites people I-pods reduce the number of shared moments Anecdote: a time when music made me feel connected to somebody. Divisive beyond that nationality/team Extended metaphor: music is the air we breathe. Segregates friends into groups: limited conversation if they don’t share the same interests. Cultures are adapting to others’ = united = less individuality – is being united always good? World if we embrace music: connected/ spirited / expressive World if we don’t embrace music: Lonely / rigid / isolated

  4. Which argument is stronger and why? My client is innocent. Your minds may be lingering on the evidence that his DNA was found at the scene but let me stress that my client lived there and that is highly likely. You may also be worried that if you find him innocent there is no-one to pay for this crime; let me assure you it is a worse crime to punish an innocent man for something he did not do. My client is innocent, regardless of what the opposition thinks. He should not go to jail because he is definitely innocent, as my evidence has demonstrated to you.

  5. Learning Point: creating a counter-argument • Tell the audience the opposite view. Then reinforce that your view is the right one. Argument : Travel is good because you can meet new people. Counter-argument: Travel is dangerous because there are different laws and you don’t know who you can trust. Counter-argument: Although some people believe travel is dangerous, the fact is that the chance to meet interesting and cultured people is far more likely.

  6. Learning Point: choosing the right approach Ethos • People are persuaded because they believe the speaker is honest. i.e. someone with status or an expert. Pathos • People are persuaded based on the emotions the text provokes. For example, a charity advert. Logos • People are persuaded by the reasons given: it is logical. For example, global warming.
