I. Name Game
II. First Presentation: STEPHANIE
III. Rewrite Your Introduction (today's homework OR last week's homework)
Let's listen to Randy's example.
IV. Appeals, Identification, Repetition, & Kairos
We have written short essays and talked with one another all in our first class meetings. Today, we make charts! Click here for examples.
V. Be ready to post these so that we can all compare notes… quite literally. Put all names on the chart.
VI. Rhetorical Analysis in Action
Using your charts, do a rhetorical analysis of this Ted Talk, the most popular of the Ted Talks. Clearly, he has created an audience. How and why is he rhetorically effective? (We won't watch the entire piece but we will watch enough for an analysis).

Let's listen to Randy's example.
IV. Appeals, Identification, Repetition, & Kairos
We have written short essays and talked with one another all in our first class meetings. Today, we make charts! Click here for examples.
- Make a chart that defines the four elements you were asked to read and write about: the persuasive appeals (ethos, logos, pathos), identification, repetitions, kairos.
- As a group, you need to come up with a short, straight-forward definition and then give an interesting, witty, funny, silly, OR contemporary example.
- Your chart should also have symbols.
- Decide your writing format: Will one person write? Will you pass around the big sheet and let everyone write? You decide but define all four! Please put your charts on the wall if there won't be enough desk space.
- Please put all of your names on the chart.
