Doodle Notes: Rhetorical Appeals (pathos, logos, ethos)
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
I created these doodle notes for my high school students for take at the beginning of our unit on rhetoric and persuasion. It simply has them fill in the name of each appeal, a short mnemonic I created to help them remember ("heart, head, cred"), and then they fill in various examples or common techniques that they have often heard or seen.
I have included a filled-in answer key/teacher's copy as well so you can see the info I had them fill in.
