Ethos/Pathos/Logos Advertisement Assignment

Create an advertisement (like a print ad in a magazine) featuring an item or service from Sword in the Stone. Use pathos, ethos, and logos to persuade others to buy the item or service. Keep your audience in mind (can be modernized or in the time period of the book) and be creative! Include an explanation of how you used ethos, pathos, and logos in MLA format, attached to the back of the ad

Due Friday, August 30th!

Talent Project

Borrowed from Ms. Zwick

You are good at something. Perhaps you dance or sing, play a musical instrument or compete in a sport, possess artistic or culinary skills, build or create, serve your community, or relate to animals. For this assignment, select a talent or skill at which you excel and prepare a presentation of that talent or skill for the class. You must have a visual aid of some sort (photographs, awards, demonstration, video clip, letters praising you, the product you make, etc.), and you must begin by introducing yourself and your talent or skill to the audience. Consider sharing with us details of how you first became involved in this activity, how you include it in your life now, what is involved in participating, why you must enjoy it, or any other information you think we would find interesting. You may use note cards from which to speak, but rehearse your presentation in advance so that you speak fluidly, even if nervous. Be sure to remember who your audience is, and to make your presentation clear to your peers (particularly in case a final exam question or other random quiz asks your peers to explain something you discussed in your presentation, but also for our own development and knowledge). Have fun!
