Name appeals
Ask students about a recent time they asked someone for something – maybe
they asked Mom for $ or Dad if they could stay out after curfew. Maybe they asked
a friend to go the movies or out to lunch. Explain that all of these are arguments.
To “win” an argument, much should be considered:
Consider who the target audience is.
Think about the best words to use when talking to that person.
Think about how and when to say these words to win the argument.
Think about how to make yourself credible so the person will believe you or
want to listen to you.

Pathos

Ask students if they think about who they’re going to ask if they can stay out late – Mom,
Dad, Grandma, who ever they “report to.” In making this decision – who to ask – students
are using the appeals.
Ask a student to share a recent “argument” they had and break down how they used the
appeals w/o even knowing it
10-15 *Guided Practice

go through the first few slides and about five of the ads.
Explain to students that sometimes a point made or an observation made can be more
than one appeal. For example if someone was arguing that Oprah should be their school’s
guest speaker, Oprah is logos (information) and Oprah is pathos (just hearing her name
makes people “feel” something AND Oprah is ethos (some view her as a credible person
while others do not). Students should understand that not everyone’s use of appeals will
be the same and that not all appeals are used in every argument.

Classroom Management Issues (optional)
Lesson Critique. To be completed following the lesson. Did your students meet the objective(s)? What part
of the lesson would you change? Why?
Next time I teach this lesson I would create an activity that would show student understanding of
Aristotle’s appeals
