For Next Week: Written Reflection on Questions from Lecture
For our next class, identify a communication scenario that you were a part of—it doesn't matter whether it was formal or informal, written or spoken, verbal or nonverbal, etc. Then, given the rhetorical vocabulary we looked at today, write 500-750 words in which you answer the following questions:
1. Who was the rhetor in your scenario? The audience? Can you identify a purpose?
2. Were pathos appeals employed in the scenario? What about logos appeals?
3. How did ethos effect the scenario? What were the distinctions among the character and authority of individuals in the scenario?
