How can I prepare an argument so an audience will accept it?
Objective: Students will anticipate audience concerns and adapt a persuasive plan in response.
1. Language Lab #24 (Copy the definition and come up with your own example of antithesis.)
2. We read independently for 15-20 minutes, adding a new vocabulary word to our word lists (WN p. 61) and completing a reading log using a reading strategy of our choice.
3. We reviewed the three persuasive appeals of pathos, logos,and ethos.
4. We completed WN #33: Building Ethos while learning how to connect to audience assumptions, fairly acknowledge counterclaims, and deal with counterclaims through rebuttal or concession. As a class, we practiced these ideas by debating several example questions.
5. We checked off our individual speech proposals with Mrs. Craft and worked on completing the bottom row of this worksheet.
For next time: Complete the bottom row of the persuasive appeals worksheet.
