This activity asks students to make appeals based on logos, ethos, and pathos. You might lead into this exercise by spending time analyzing newspaper/magazine ads in the classroom. Ask your students to analyze the print ads in terms of the rhetorical triangle and pathos, ethos, and logos. For this activity, you will write your own advertisement for radio or TV. In it, you will make use of at least 2 appeals. The product or service you advertise can be a real one, or one that you’ve conjured up in your own imagination. Perhaps you’ve wished such a product or service existed to ease the pains of your everyday existence. The minimum requirement for this assignment is one typed page. In class on [date], you will each be presenting your advertisement to the class, incorporating the hallmarks of good delivery. Please feel free to be as creative as you wish. Your ad can be completely outlandish. Use props if you'd like! This should be a fun assignment that you all can use to blow off some steam. |
