09.08 - Ethos wrap-up > Logos

At the beginning of class today we reviewed metaphor, allusion, allegory, parallelism, and anaphora. Next, we looked for these in Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.

Everyone then handed in the ethos reading response questions and annotations of Dr. King's speech identifying ethos and rhetorical devices within the speech.

Next, we began looking at our next argument which we will be analyzing for its use of logos. To prepare for this argument from the book "Freakonomics," we looked at some short videos that will introduce us to the argument being made (see below).





Handouts:
Freakonomics' Argument (Logos)
Freakonomics reading response questions (logos set)

Homework:
Read the Freakonomics argument and identify the points within the speech where the authors make use of logos.
