Your Logos, Pathos,
and Ethos
Your rhetorical strategy must be implicitly understood throughout your paper. In order to gear your
research and argument towards rhetoric rhetorical strategies, answer the
following questions with regard to your topic.
1. Who are you hoping to convince in your paper?
I am trying to convince the Illinois School Board
2. Why might this audience be hesitant to accept your
proposal?
The audience might be hesitant because of budget cut that they
are supposed to be doing to save the state money
3. What is your plan to overcome this audience’s resistance?
My plan is to provide stories that target there sympathy for
children
4. Why are you qualified to present an argument about this
subject?
I am qualified because going through grade school I had a
fine arts program and now that my brother is in grade school he does not have
the same great programs I did at his age
5. What characterizes you as a speaker in your proposal?
(Think about your self-disclosures, your tone, the way you’ve selected and
presented arguments, etc.)
I think since I used personal examples in my proposal it
makes my character show
6. Write an outline of your key arguments:
-
Lack of funding
-
Lack of proper teaching background
-
Lack of supplies
-
College requirements
7. What kind of
evidence do you rely on to support these points? (stats, analogies, personal
testimony, expert testimony, experiments, etc.)
-
Stats
-
Personal and expert testimonies
-
Facts
8. How do you know this evidence will sufficiently support
your points AND win over your audience?
My evidence is similar to what would be brought up in a
board meeting by community members and also by teachers. I think it would
eventually win over my audience because nobody wants to see a child fail at their
dream because of something someone else could have done.
