Review-Pathos, Ethos, Logos Let’s watch this vid and review the persuasive appeals

Pathos Example: Eating chocolate can kill dogs. Getting people to feel happy, sad, afraid, or angry can help your argument.

Logos Example: A Snickers bar has 280 calories and 30 grams of sugar. That’s not very healthy. Facts, numbers, and information can be very convincing.

Examples of Pathos/Ethos (RED/GREEN) Facts - can be proven. Expert opinions or quotations Definitions - statement of meaning of word or phrase Statistics - offer scientific support Examples - powerful illustrations Anecdote - incident, often based on writer's personal experiences Emotional appeals - to provide support for reasons, carefully chosen loaded words, carrying positive or negative connotations, sway readers' emotions Present opposition - and give reasons and evidence to prove the opposition wrong Conclude with call to action - urge the reader to do something

Ethos Example: Believe me! I’ve been there before. I’m just like you. If people believe and trust in you, you’re more likely to persuade them.
