Creating a Persuasive Message
· , create a persuasive message using ethos, pathos, and logos. The mini-speech should be 2-3 minutes long on a problem you believe exists at your university. Begin by brainstorming and choosing the one issue you find most relevant to the class. The speech should have a clear introduction (attention getter, claim, and preview of the main points), at least two main points with supporting evidence, and a solid conclusion (restating the claim, summarizing the main points, and a sense of closure). While each group delivers their speech, the rest of the class should be listening and identifying when they hear ethos, pathos, and logos in the speech. discuss the ways in which each group approached ethos, pathos, logos. What worked well? What could be improved?
