  2. Expanding Knowledge: Persuasion By yourself, respond to the writing prompt on page 147: Writing Prompt: Write a letter to your parent or guardian, trying to convince him or her to change a rule or restriction. For example, you might ask to extend your curfew by one hour or increase your allowance. Be as detailed, descriptive, and convincing as possible. Try to include all three types of appeals (logos, ethos, pathos).

  3. Expanding Knowledge: Persuasion With your partner,exchange your letter with your partner. Read the letter your partner wrote to his or her parent or guardian. Pretend that you are the parent or guardian of the other student and write a response to that student’s letter. Address specific points made in the letter. Try to include all three appeals—logos, ethos, pathos. Page 148 Once both partners have complete your responses, return both letters to the original writers, who then will consider whether your reasons were sufficiently addressed.

  4. Expanding Knowledge: Persuasion Ask yourself, how do you persuade your parents when you want permission to do something? Do you use logos, pathos, ethos or begging? Be prepared to share your thoughts with the class.

  5. Practicing Knowledge: Persuasion A professional sports team is considering moving to our fair city to build a stadium for practice and home games. Brainstorm reasons for the team to come here.

  6. Practicing Knowledge: RAFT By yourself, return to your letters and mark the text for your appeals to pathos, ethos, and logos, using a different color for each type of appeal. Revise your letters by adding more specific appeals to pathos, ethos, and logos, depending on what would be most persuasive for the audience. (Use the letters that your partners wrote in response to your own in order to address additional concerns.)

  7. Brainstorming: Persuasion By yourself, (as part of a prewriting step for Embedded Assessment 2) brainstorm other possible issues at home that might be suitable topics for a persuasive essay.
