Ethos, Pathos, and Logos for rhetorical analysis

Goals: Learn about Ethos, Pathos, and Logos and annotate Undercover Parent by Coben to mark examples of each.

Agenda: 
Read
Learn about rhetorical appeals
Annotate Undercover parent.

First, we are going to order some pizza....kind of. We'll let our little friend Ari teach us about Ethos, Pathos, and Logos.

• Now that you know all about Ethos, Pathos, and Logos, we are going to look more closely at "The Undercover Parent" and identify the ways that Coben uses rhetorical appeals to craft his argument. 
• Open your copy of the text in your Google Drive. (If you don't have a copy already you can get one from the link in the post below from Thursday.) Be prepared to annotate it based on our close-reading discussion.

Now that you have annotated your text, use your notes to answer the following questions in your English Journal:

1. LOGOS: How well does Coben support his claim in "The Undercover Parent?" What evidence does he provide?

2. ETHOS: What do you know about Coben? Is he credible? Why/why not?

3. PATHOS: How does Coben create fear and concern for his audience? Use specific examples.

Reminders: Keep reading book #5.
