  2. Persuasive Techniques • Ethos • The author’s “moral competence” (ethics), expertise and knowledge of the subject • Basically, you should listen to the author because s/he has proven s/he knows what s/he is talking about. • For example: your teachers prove their ethos by having a college education. This proves their credibility and expertise in teaching. • Another example: celebrity endorsements What do you think are some ways an author can prove his or her credibility (establish ethos)?

  4. Persuasive Techniques • Logos • The logical appeal of the author • The argument makes sense because it is logical and thought-out. • Usually in chronological order (step-by-step) • If you were trying to convince your teacher to give you an extra day on a writing assignment, what logical appeal would you use? Remember…it must make sense to the teacher!

  8. Advertising Techniques - Bandwagon Definition: a device to encourage us to follow the crowd and accept if “everybody is doing it, I should too” Examples: “America’s # 1 best-selling product…” “Join the millions who have succeeded in losing weight with the use of this product.” Question: When you use this technique with your parents, what is their usual response? In other words, what is the age-old saying that parents still use as a comeback for this type of appeal?
