Do Now

• What books would you bring??

Write down and share out

Persuasion

•We will be working on a short persuasive writing piece.

•We will also take a break to work on grammar and other writing skills after I look at your feminist critique essay.

The Shelter

• Read the handout aloud.

• Do a free- write for twelve minutes what choice you would make and explain why in detail. (Persuade us that you are right)

• Afterwards, report out to the class. You may read directly from your paper, or simply refer to it. (If someone is good at persuading, perhaps you will change your mind)

ETHOS, PATHOS, LOGOS

• What is our knowledge of ethos, pathos, and logos??

SWBAT understand the components of a persuasive argument

someone of the character or credibility of the persuader.• Pathos: an appeal to emotion, and is a way of

audience by reason.
