Today in class we discussed the Rhetorical Summative that we are taking during class tomorrow. For the summative we are answering short answer questions but we are allowed to use our notes. To help get a better understanding of what we have to do for the summative, our assignment for class was to write two small speeches, these were not presented to the class. In those speeches we had to incorporate ethos, logos or pathos. For my two speeches I used logos in one and pathos in the other. These speeches could be about anything, whether you chose them from the topic list that we were given or if you made up your own topics. The topic list contained, WHO IS YOUR SPEAKER? WHO IS YOUR AUDIENCE? and WHAT DOES YOUR TEXT DO? The next step after choosing your topics you had to create your first speech which for me was logos. After you completed the first speech you then had to make a new slide and change your speech so it would fit into the ethos or pathos category and in this case is used pathos. My speeches are very short but they get the job done. Here are my speeches,
Logos: Hey there Clowns, there are some people out there who are very scared of you because of your strange looks and strange voices, so please try to stop acting like this you scare to many people.
Pathos: Hello Clowns, going around to birthday parties to entertain is fine but chasing people around with objects that can hurt/kill people for example knifes, bats and hammers and other threatening objects is obscene and not okay. Children and some adults are afraid to leave their own homes especially at night because they don't feel safe. All I'm asking you to do is please stop!
