  1. Types of On-Demand Writing

  2. On-Demand Writing • Four types of writing: • Letter to the editor • Editorial • Feature article • Speech

  3. Letter to the Editor • Remember to GROPE: • Greeting • Reason for writing (3 points) • Organize your points in paragraphs or groups of paragraphs • Prove each point with three specific examples or statistics • End your letter with thanks • Salutation after the end

  4. Editorial • Remember: • Problem • Solution • Benefits • Assuming your opponent’s argument • Closing strong

  5. Feature Article • Spotlight a particular person, place, thing, or problem • Find an angle • Usually light in tone, but not always • Paragraphs– 1 or 2 sentences long • Quotes personalize the story

  6. Speech • Remember: • Hook– Analogies work best • Thesis Statement– What you’re saying and the 3 points you need • Body– 3 paragraphs expanding the 3 points from the thesis statement • Conclusion– End strong

  7. Rhetorical Devices • Pathos • Logos • Ethos • Analogy • Repetition • Assuming the argument

  8. Pathos • Appeal to the heart • Example: “For just dollars a day you can help a poor Ethiopian child survive in this harsh, barren world.”

  9. Logos • Appeal to the mind • Example: “According to the KDA, Trimble County students scores at an 88 percentile in language arts.”

  10. Ethos • Appeal to a specific cultural value • Example: Chevrolet is as American as hot dogs, baseball, and apple pie.

  11. Analogy • Extended metaphor throughout a paragraph or an entire paper • Example: School is a zoo. • Seniors = lions • Teachers = game wardens • Dating = stalking your prey • Freshmen = snakes

  12. Repetition • Repeating the same sound, word, or phrase over and over • Example: “Let freedom ring” from Martin Luther King’s I Have a Dream speech.

  13. Assuming the Argument • Stating and proving wrong an argument someone might have with your solution or supposition • Example: Critics may say the cost of a new school is high. Isn’t it worth it to give our children a better chance to learn, grow, compete, and excel in today’s changing world?
