Persuasion R


There are two parts

Part 1:

  • Describe Ethos, Logos, and Pathos and explain why these elements are important to presenting a successful persuasive argument.

Part 2:

  • Using the ECPI Online Library database “Opposing Viewpoints” or the online site “ProCon.org” – find a topic/issue of interest to you, read both sides of the argument and then summarize the elements of ethos, logos, and pathos presented.
  • Do you have to have all three elements (ethos, logos and pathos) in order for an argument to be persuasive? Why or why not?
  • Does a speaker need to change an audience’s members mind completely in order to be successful at persuasion? Why or why not?
