Over the past couple of days, we have been discussing the advantages and disadvantages of both cats and dogs. Having asked students which one they preferred, I then asked them to form groups, switch sides and write a persuasive piece on why either cats or dogs make a better pet. Since we previously looked at the main three types of arguments, students were well prepared to create their persuasion map with a strong thesis, 3 main arguments and supporting points. As you all have to argue the opposite of what you believe, I am looking forward to seeing how you use pathos to help convince your reader. Talk about higher-order thinking!
