--Write three versions of a brief letter to your parents, asking if you can swap cars for the weekend. (Your car is not very trustworthy; the car belonging to your parents is much nicer). Demonstrate the use of logos, pathos, or ethos in each of the three versions.
--After reviewing your responses in the Developing Your Argument and Audience Analysis planning sheets (see Google Classroom), after reflecting on what you have learned about logos, pathos, and ethos, and after reflecting on what you have learned about appeals, write the introductory paragraph to your persuasive essay. Be sure to target wording, subject matter, and approach to your specific audience. End the introductory paragraph with a specific thesis statement.
--Again reviewing your responses in Developing Your Argument , construct a n informal outline that states your thesis and identifies your arguments and counter-arguments. Temporarily place your outline just above your introduction (see document on Google Classroom).
--Begin writing your body paragraphs and doing additional research as needed. Be sure to use authoritative sources and to use academic databases as much as possible. A rough draft of your entire essay (Works Cited page included) is due Thursday of next week.
