Notes on right side of the paper:

Persuasion

 Argument

•Definition: set of reasons given with the aim of persuading others that an action or idea is right or wrong; often uses rhetorical devices.

•To be persuasive in an argument, one should use rhetorical devices/appeals

Rhetorical Appeals

•For complete persuasion, one’s argument should have all three appeals: ethos, pathos, and logos

o Logos: a logical appeal

-convinces a person using logic, reasoning, facts, statistics, examples

-is specific, reliable, truthful, can be proven

-Logos Example: “Cigarette smoke contains over 4,800 chemicals, 69 of which are known to cause cancer.”

We organized our binders to have 4 sections:

1. Trackers: Mastery Tracking Sheets, any reflections we do on our mastery/grades/scores, etc.

2. Vocabulary: Morphological Magic Chart, Vocabulary Charts for English Class

3. Writing: Notes on writing essays, drafts and brainstorming, etc.

4. Notes: Your spiral notebook should be kept in this section with the rings, anything else I specifically tell you to put here

 

Then, we went over Cornell Notes for Compare/Contrast essays:
