Suggestions for Student replies

1. Ask each other questions about the reading. You can use quiz questions from the reading and quiz each other on the reading.

2. Ask each other questions about the ethos, pathos and logos of the persuasive communication you chose. Ask each other: Does  the article I chose have ethos ( appeal to believability), pathos (appeal to emotion) and logos (appeal to logic)? Are there any fallacies (illogical arguments)  in my article?

3. Talk about a commercial you saw on TV that uses a lot of (pathos, or ethos, or logos) Example:  Save the animal commercials pulls your heartstrings by showing mistreated pets and ask you to donate money to save the animals is an example of a commercial with pathos (appeal to emotion). A toothpaste commercial stating 7 out of 10 dentists recommend this toothpaste (ethos) commercial. How do you see logos, pathos and ethos in your daily lives?
