Wednesday

 

LEARNING GOAL: RI6 Determine an author's point of view or purpose in a text. 

We will write sentences with words of the day and then we will read "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" on page 124.

 
How do you persuade people to do something?  Make a list of things/ways you might make someone stop smoking.

As we read, think about the author's purpose.  Why is he delivering this sermon?   Remember logos, pathos, and ethos.  Remember for a persuasive argument to be successful it must contain each of these.  But, as we read you need to write down at least four emotional appears.  Emotional appeals include FEAR, PITY, GUILT (emotions), etc.

 

You will also list his appeals for this sermon.

 

So, you will need to 1) write down Edwards emotional appeals (at least 4).

 

LOGOS - Appeal of Logic (is your argument logical)

ETHOS - Appeal of self (does your audience like due to how your act, speak or write)

PATHOS - Emotional Appeal (why should your audience care, what is in it for them?)

 

HW: Questions 1-3 and 5 on page 130.
