Today we learned about Aristotle’s three modes of persuasion:  ethos, pathos, and logos.  Tonight’s homework (if you didn’t finish in class) is to write a “Dear Santa” letter persuading Santa to bring you one specific, special item.  Your letter must include clearly identifiable examples of ethos, pathos, and logos.

Cool sites related to the three modes of persuasion:

TeacherTube Video on Ethos, Pathos, & Logos – cute!  (There will be a short commercial at the beginning, then the video.)
