At the heart of all the rhetorical tools we’ve learned this semester is an understanding of how rhetors communicate with audiences. When rhetors use commonplaces, extrinsic proofs, pathos, ethos, and logos, they produce some kind of effect on their audiences. So today, we’re going to spend class thinking about–really thinking about–a specific audience you will address in the Persuasion Project and what medium or genre will be most effective to convey your purpose.
NOTE that your in-class work today will be due as a blog post on Saturday, November 2.
