7. Thursday:The Power of PersuasionTake notes!Notebook title: Logos, Ethos & Pathos

8. Logos = Reason • Logos: Persuade by demonstrating logical proof • Two types: inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning • Inductive reasoning: takes a specific representative case or facts and then draws generalizations or conclusions from them. Deductive reasoning: Deductive reasoning begins with a generalization and then applies it to a specific case.

9. Ethos = Ethics • Ethos: Ethical argument based on the character of the speaker. • Make yourself believable! • Any elements of an essay that reveal the author as intelligent, caring, and knowledgeable about the topic will help persuade a reader that the argument is valid. • Example: You all make yourself believable by including evidence and supports in your essays.

10. Pathos = Emotion • Pathos: Emotional appeal. • Appeals to an audience's needs, values, and emotional sensibilities. • Use interviews or individual stories to paint a more legitimate and moving picture of reality or illuminate the truth. • Example: telling the story of a single child who has been abused may make for a more persuasive argument than simply the number of children abused each year because it would give a human face to the numbers.
