  3. Type 1 • How do you convince someone to believe what you believe? • 5-7 lines

  4. Ethos, Pathos, Logos • The best arguments have all three… Ethos: credibility (or character) of the writer/endorser/speaker – how knowledgeable/credible is the person? Did s/he do the research? Pathos: Does the writer make an emotional appeal/connection to the audience? Logos: Does the writer make a logical argument for his/her case?

  5. Persuasive Techniques Bandwagon (everyone’s doing it) AvanteGarde (puts user ahead of the times) Weasel Words (suggests result without making a guarantee – ‘might’, ‘virtually’) Emotional Appeal (your kids could be at risk) Startling Statistics (9 out of 10 people suffer) Expert Opinions Relevant Anecdotes/Stories Red Herring Technique (deliberate attempt to divert attention from a subject; changing the subject) Comparison (mine is better than yours) Address the other side and refute it Social Proof (offer testimonials- people that have done this/that) Prognosticate (predict future situations/hypotheticals)
