Let's examine rhetorical appeals used within an actual example....
For the Showdown Analysis...
Use Ethos, Pathos, Logos as rhetorical appeals for arguments.

ALSO CONSIDER THESE WHEN THINKING ABOUT HOW AN AUTHOR MAKES USE OF THE APPEALS.
LET'S LOOK AND ANALYZE EXAMPLES...
1. From our readings on rhetoric, what specific concept, appeal, or idea about rhetoric do you have experience with whether discussing, writing about, or seeing online? WRITE about this experience with rhetoric (250 words)
2. CREATE a sample poster/advertisement that uses rhetorical appeals for a specific goal/agenda (use a model you find online as an example; or craft your own idea)
Role Play, Get Creative, BUT BE PERSUASIVE!!!
3. DEMONSTRATE your rhetorical knowledge - later in class we will share what we created or screen mirror an example of what our created samples were trying to achieve.
What will you score? What will you invent? What can you learn about Rhetoric and Propaganda tactics?
