Term Paper Countdown

All joking aside, we are in the last weeks of the class and the big project is the Term Paper.  Today we will be doing a cut and paste revision for Thesis.  In addition I'd like to get some time to work on the Argumentative essay which is due in rough copy form this Friday.

Logos, Ethos, Pathos

The Rhetorical Triangle looks kind of like a third grader drew it but it gets the message across just fine.  The point is that you really need all three of these in order to have a good argumentative essay, persuasive essay or great speech.  If you really want to see these three principles in action head over to the American Rhetoric website and read or listen to some speeches.  Please post your comments in the comments section by Friday.

Break is Over

In case you missed it Spring Break was last week and this week marks the start of the last big push for the semester.  If you haven't uploaded  your rough draft of the definition essay yet, you missed the window.  Final drafts are due this Friday.
