Pathos: audience: Emotional appeals you make toward your audience to influence their attitudes, opinions and feelings. You must be aware of your audience when adding pathos. Not just anything would be OK to add with any audience.

Ethos: speaker: Your credibility as a speaker is important when trying to convince others. There are many things you can do to make them trust you as a reliable source. The way you dress, speak, how much information you have, whether you sound confident, how you've prepared your presentation or the lack of these things can influence whether your audience trusts you.

Portfolio reminder-due 11/16

Add to R4-Cnotes-How to complete reading entry/Ra Ta Ta

Problems with R5 and R6, which students need to stop doing

-Its obvious some of you haven't read by the summaries you're giving. For example: Owen Meany almost died because he can't swim. (This summary reflects the student didn't read.)

-Questions that are repetitive of quote, pointless, they already know the answer or should know, reflect they didn't read. For example: Who is Owen Meany? What is Episcopalian? What is Congregational? What is Catholic? Why can't Owen swim?

-Not using Extra at all, or not enough

-Not putting pg to pg at bottom of entries-there is no way for me to know you really read those 10 pages

-You are starting summaries how I said not to: In these 10 pages I read..Now I want to say what happened in this section...

-Your summaries are too wordy and don't give the main idea. Instead you are listing everything or giving only a summary of the pages you read, not all 10 pages. For Example: Owen Meany went to church. He tells about his childhood, his grandmother is mean, his mom is pretty, he plays tricks on Owen, he plays baseball and is going to a private school.

10 minutes given for silent reading-Students allowed to recycle their R5-R6 and fix some of these mistakes above. Students who never turned in the entries are encouraged to work on them and submit.
