Monday, 10/12/15

Agenda
Persuasive Essay Writing
Today, we went over persuasive writing techniques.  Students will be writing a 5-paragraph persuasive essay.  They will work on writing these essays the entire week in class.  Students should bring their tablets or phone to class so that they can do research for their essays.  I will be passing out a handout detailing the requirements for this assignment tomorrow.

Prompt
What are you so passionate about that you can persuade your readers to believe in your passion?  In a 5-paragraph essay you will use ETHOS, PATHOS, and LOGOS to be convincing and persuade your readers to your belief.  You will do research on your topic so that you can include facts and statistics in your essay to make it convincing.

Homework
(1) Think about what you want to write your essay on.  Choose a topic and let me know what you want to write about by tomorrow, 10/13/15.
(2) Persuasive Essay Rough Draft due Friday, 10/16/15.
