information has come out about Somaly Mam.

what the original author of the New York Times
article says about this source today!
How does this new information effect your
opinion of Somaly Mam’s story? Does this new
information make Somaly Mam’s story still
credible? not credible? less credible? Explain –

There are always two sides to every story.
Today you are going to look at two sides of
one issue and decide which writer was
more persuasive – consider things like
their use of ethos, pathos, and logos.
Which writer do you trust more? Why?
Which writer makes you feel? Feel what?
Which writer had more convincing
evidence? Explain. Consider their writing
– which piece was better written in terms
of style (think about their vocabulary,
sentences, use of parallel structure,
imagery, rhetorical questions, etc.).
SIDE ONE
Watch the video and listen to the
author’s claim. Pay attention to
and take notes on the author’s
claim, use of ethos, logos, pathos,
and style. You will use these
notes later when you write about
which piece was more persuasive

SIDE TWO
Now read the article. Note the
author’s claim. Take notes on their
use of ethos, logos, pathos and style.
You will use these notes to help you
write about which piece was more
effective.
WHICH PIECE WAS MORE PERSUASIVE?
BASE YOUR OPINION SOLELY ON HOW WELL
EACH WRITER USED ETHOS, LOGOS, PATHOS
AND STYLE (LIKE PARALLEL STRUCTURE,
IMAGERY, WORD CHOICE, ALLUSIONS,
RHETORICAL QUESTIONS, ETC.). USE
EVIDENCE FROM EACH PIECE TO SUPPORT
YOUR RESPONSE.

THIS ISSUE.

Day 3
My ideas on day 3
1. Students complete/finalize their slides (15 min)
2. Students share their presentations with the teacher
3. Students present their slides to their partner. Partner uses the questions
from the opposite group to fill in a worksheet (with the same questions) and
turn that in to show they followed the presentation. This will cut down on
time needed to conduct presentations. (Or you can do it the traditional way if
you have time).
