Persuasion

We are back to rhetoric and Aristotle. Remember I said there were a lot of rhetorical terms? See here: http://rhetoric.byu.edu/

But in order to discuss persuasion, Aristotle narrowed things down to three main categories, or pillars, of persuasion: pathos, ethos and logos. Since every Kickstarter is a piece of persuasion, you need to be thinking about this.

Did you run into any examples of this as you were looking at your Kickstarters?

Daybook Group Activity: Between you, come up with at least one example for each appeal from the Kickstarters you wrote about in Solo #1.

Time to work on draft?

Homework:

1. Work on the rough draft of your Kickstarter on Paper, due tomorrow. Please do have it typed.

2. TWFTD: pathetic
