Thursday, September 8

Please put your reverse outline out so that I can check it off during work time.
Turn in your MLK Rhetorical Analysis if you have not already done so!

JOURNAL 9.8:  Rhetoric is a Response and Invites a Response

  • Respond to this rhetoric in at least 250 words in Digital Comp Book.  (Approx. 2 well-developed paragraphs)  
  • Your response should have two parts:
    • 1) Relate this clip to any of the ideas from the "RHETORIC AS AN ART" section of the Herrick article;
    • 2) Respond to the message itself as an "audience member." What is your ideological reaction to this clip?  (Be rhetorical! That is to say: take an ideological perspective on this clip and try to be convincing.)
  • Cut and paste PART 2 of your response in this Google Doc (sign your name!). Respond to the rhetoric of at least three of your peers in the comments.  Feel free to continue commenting beyond that. Rhetoric is a response and invites a response!


Goal:
  • Understand Aristotelian Appeals (logos, pathos, and ethos) and identify examples in rhetorical discourse.




  • What is the exigency?
  • What are Obama's motives, both hidden and revealed?
  • How does it impact on you personally as an American?



Lesson: Aristotelian Appeals


Pruebita (little quiz): On a blank piece of paper, identify each Aristotelian Appeal (logos, pathos, ethos) in Dr. King's speech. Explain with evidence from the speech.

  • How does MLK use logos?
  • How does MLK use pathos?
  • How does MLK establish ethos?
