‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Agenda

1. Three Ways to Persuade


 * 1. Quick Write: : **

Think of something you tried to persuade a parent,teacher,or friend to door believe.It might have been to buy or pay for something, to change a due date or a grade,to change a rule or decision,to go somewhere,or some other issue.What kinds of arguments did you use? Did you use logic?Did you see evidence to support your request?Did you try to present your own character in a way that would make your case more believable?Did you try to engage the emotions of your audience?Write a short description of your efforts to persuade your audience in this case.

Next, read and annotate the article and answer the discussion questions


 * Activity ****2: ****ExploringKeyConcepts **

For each term,answer the following questions:


 * 1) 1. What does this term mean to you?


 * 1) 2. Should we use the Greek word,or is there an English word that means exactly the same thing?


 * 1) 3. Look at the discussion questions for each section.Are Aristotle’s three terms relevant to your own writing?

 * 1) <span style="color: #231f20; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">1. What is the difference between “knowledge” and “belief”?

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Think about a current event or situation and use it to address the following categories:


 * <span style="color: #231f20; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">What I know || <span style="color: #231f20; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">HowI know it ||
 * <span style="color: #231f20; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">What I believe || <span style="color: #231f20; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">WhyI believe it ||


 * 1) <span style="color: #231f20; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">2. Is “proving” different from “persuading”? Does proving lead to knowledge, while persuading leads to belief? How do we “prove” that something is true? Are there some notions that we believe strongly, even though we can’t prove them?


 * 1) <span style="color: #231f20; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">3. What is the difference between what is certain and what is probable? If, as in a courtroom, the jury decides that something has been proved “beyond a reasonable doubt,” does that mean that it is certainly true or merely highly probable? Are we persuaded only by what is certain or sometimes by what is probable, in that it is likely to be true, or that most people would agree that it is true?


 * 1) <span style="color: #231f20; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">4. In the dialogue mentioned above, Gorgias says that rhetoric is about the “just and unjust.” How would you distinguish a “just” action from an “unjust” action? (The word “just” here is related to the word “justice.”)
