Pathos, Ethos, Logos Whenever people write to persuade, they use

different techniques. These techniques can be categorized into three main categories: Pathos Ethos Logos

Watch these short video clips, and think about 1) what they’re trying to persuade you to believe/do and 2) HOW they’re trying to persuade you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99pQ0KJfdoE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRvVWPBcWaA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoGoeT41onM

Pathos An appeal to your emotions. Think sym(PATH)y

Logos (Logic) Using facts/statistics (logic) to persuade

the reader.

Ethos (Ethics/Credibility) This is an appeal to the reader’s

ethics/morality. Is the author reliable? Using a famous historian or a famous

doctor to back up what you’re saying lends credibility to your argument.

Pathos, Logos, or Ethos? Catholic high schools graduated 95 percent of their

students each year, while the public schools graduated only slightly more 50 percent of their senior class.

You talk to Ms. Stitt. You say (while beginning to tear up and cry), “b…b…but Ms. Stitt! I know I can do better! I studied so hard!! Plus, it will make YOU look better if your students are doing well in your class because then it will make YOU look like a good teacher!!”

You say, “Ms. Stitt, Dr. Perez NEVER gives us homework and she’s a doctor. She’s so smart! She knows what she’s talking about and doing. You should take a leaf out of her book!”

Pathos, Logos, Ethos: Try some OYO "My three decades of experience in public service, my

tireless commitment to the people of this community, and my willingness to reach across the aisle and cooperate with the opposition, make me the ideal candidate for your mayor.“

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury: we have not only the fingerprints, the lack of an alibi, a clear motive, and an expressed desire to commit the robbery… We also have video of the suspect breaking in. The case could not be more open and shut."

"If we don’t move soon, we’re all going to die! Can’t you see how dangerous it would be to stay?“

"Better men than us have fought and died to preserve this great nation. Now is our turn to return the favor. For God and country, gentlemen!"

"The veterinarian says that an Australian shepherd will be the perfect match for our active lifestyle."
