- Read Sample Persuasive Essays, (Please see me in class for these) and, in partners, score the essays and explain in a bullet list why you think it should earn the score you gave it (Discuss elements like thesis, organization, development, detail, but also include ethos, pathos, and logos and if the essay is using those persuasive elements.) Turn in the written portion of your work for a participation grade.
F:
- Warm-Up (See file below)
- Draft first half of Persuasive Essay #1, Draft 1. The prompt is as follows:
- Write an essay explaining your position on whether it is better to make decisions quickly or slowly. You may use The Odyssey as your example(s), but you are free to argue either side. Make sure to pick a side and stick to it. Write it in the same structure as you would an expository essay, but use more pathos (emotional diction, details, and imagery) and ethos (counterargument, use of personal experience).
