Activity 2: Surveying the Text Skim over the article “Three Ways to Persuade: Integrating the Three Appeals” by John R. Edlund, considering the title, the subheads, and the “Questions for Consideration.” You may want to make some notes. Then move on to Activity 3.
Activity 3: Creating Personal Learning Goals Considering what you have learned about rhetoric in the previous activities and what information you got from skimming the article, use the following questions to help you make a list of your own personal learning goals for the rest of this module.
1. What do you think you will learn from this article and this module? In your list, write down “I will learn about . . .” and then complete the sentence with whatever ideas or skills you think you will learn about.
2. How will you be able to use this new knowledge? In your list write “After this module, I will be able to . . .” and then write down the new things you will be able to do and the old things that you will be able to do better.
3. Do you think you will be a more persuasive writer after doing the activities in this module? Write down your answer and explain why or why not.
Activity 4: Reading for Understanding Now read the whole article, thinking about how to increase your understanding of ethos, pathos, and logos. If you were already familiar with these concepts, pay attention to how the discussion in this article might be a little different from what you already thought. As you read, you may want to annotate the text, underlining important concepts and asking questions in the margins. The class read the first 2 pages of the article. At least 2 marginal notes need to be on each page.

Writing Rhetorically
Composing a Draft Prompt
- How do ethos, logos, and pathos work together (or not work together) in helping to achieve the writer’s purpose? 9-11 sentences.
Ask yourself each of the following four questions as you write your paragraph.
Do you CLEARLY identify the author's/web designer's purpose in your paragraph?
Do you discuss all three appeals (ethos, logos, pathos) in your paragraph?
Do you discuss the relationships between the appeals?
Do you discuss how those relationships connect to the purpose of the paragraph?
Do you give specific evidence of how those appeals are created on the website? What rhetorical "moves" does the author/web designer use to create ethos, logos, and pathos? How well to those "moves" work? (moves could be images, titles, links, text blocks, word choice, structure, repetition, use of color, etc.)
Include the title of your website in your topic sentence.
Making Choices as Your Write
Purpose: To use the questions in Activity 8 to write a paragraph similar to the example
Activity 9: Making Choices as You Write
Using your responses from Activity 8, write a draft of your paragraph about the ways that ethos, pathos, and logos work together in your chosen Web site. Here is an example of what that paragraph might look like:
Defenders of Wildlife
A Web site called “Defenders of Wildlife” wants people to donate money to help save endangered species. Its 2013 site had a “Fact Sheet” about the endangered San Joaquin kit fox that features a cute picture of a young fox with the caption, “The San Joaquin kit fox is declining or has become locally extinct in much of the species’ historic range. You can help save them. Adopt a kit fox.” (Note: This is what the site said in 2013. Now, in 2019, the site [defenders.org/wildlife/foxes] features the artic fox.) The name “Defenders of Wildlife” creates a strong, heroic ethos for the writers of the Web site. The reader can become a “Defender of Wildlife” by joining the site and donating. The Web page is full of facts about the kit fox and its life, which function both to create the impression that the writers are knowledgeable about the fox (ethos) and to make the argument (logos) that the cute little fox (pathos) is endangered. Finally, the reader is asked to help save the kit fox by adopting one, a call for action that is based more on pathos than logos, but involves both.

Period 3
Period 3 Expo 11
1. Begin reading Act I of the Crucible: Blue lit book page 914.
Read act 1. The reading questions provided are designed to give you a focus for your reading and to provide topics for later discussion. The goal is to provide guidance for your first reading, a sense of what to attend to, without interrupting the natural flow of the reading. You may want to focus on reading to answer the questions; or you may want to simply skim the questions, read, and then return to the text to develop your responses.
1. Why does Abigail say she was dismissed by the Proctors?
2. In Salem, an excellent public reputation is essential if one is to be accepted in the community. What suggests that Abigail's reputation has become questionable?
3. Is John Proctor attracted physically to Abigail? Explain. Does he feel guilty? How does Proctor feel about himself, and why might he feel that way?
4. Sources of Conflict: How do the Putnams reveal that they are jealous of Rebecca Nurse's large family? What complaints or "grievances" does Putnam have against the other characters?
5. How do the stage directions (in italics) at Mary Warren's entrance offer hints about her character?
Abigail drank a charm to kill Goody Proctor but does not want Betty to tell anyone about this. What threat does Abigail make to the girls? Do you think she is serious?
6. What do we learn about Tituba in act 1?
7. What comment by Giles Corey will most likely implicate his wife in the witch hunt?
8. Understanding the Meaning: After reading act 1 and responding to the questions above, take a few moments to assess your understanding of the play so far. Points in the play where you are confused or have difficulty can be good places to revisit, examine, and discuss in order to meet your reading goals. Ask yourself the following questions and respond in a quickwrite of at least one paragraph:
I understand __________ about act 1, but the parts that are most unclear to me are __________.
Which of my responses to the questions above am I least confident about?
What is it about this text that is difficult for me?
Where did my attention wander?
Which portion of the play was most challenging for me to understand, why?
Share your paragraph with a partner. Choose one challenging portion of the play that seems important to understanding the play. With a partner, use a strategy from the list below to try to increase your understanding of this portion of text.Period 7

Activity 19: Considering the Rhetorical Situation
In your study of rhetoric and writing, you have probably studied the concepts of rhetorical appeals, including emotional appeals (pathos), logical appeals (logos), and appeals using the image or credibility of the speaker (ethos). In this activity, you will explore another rhetorical concept: kairos.
Kairos describes the “immediate social space and situation in which arguments must be made” and can be understood as a “window of opportunity” in which the audience is particularly receptive to a message (Fletcher, 58). For example, if you were asking a parent for more independence, say a later curfew or the ability to drive somewhere you wouldn’t usually be allowed, your argument would probably be viewed as inappropriate if it came immediately after your parents got a call from your school’s principal about your recent truancies. Your same argument would be better timed, however, if you broached the topic after your parents received a call advising them of an award you had won. Kairos involves knowing when to say the right thing. If the social climate is right for a particular change or message, this can be called a kairotic moment.
Discuss with a partner: Think of times you have tried to persuade someone. What is one time you took advantage of a kairotic moment to make your argument better?
After reading the play, discuss the following with a small group or partner:
- What influenced Arthur Miller to write this play at the time that he did? What is the surrounding context that influences his writing? Take notes about your findings in the graphic organizer below.
- How do events in the play parallel events in Arthur Miller’s own time?
- Draw a line connecting parallel events in The Crucible and in Miller’s time across the columns
Events in The Crucible
Events in Arthur Miller's Time
4. How does this play take advantage of a kairotic moment?
5. In what ways is this play still relevant today? In what ways is it less relevant than when it was written?

- List three reasons why the literacy of people over whom you had power could threaten that power.

Pleasantville questions
Post- Pleasantville Questions
- What evidence did you see of 1950s conformity? (Be sure to consider both material evidence as well as the values exhibited by the characters.)
- What behavior led people to change from black and white to Technicolor? Was it merely sexual activity that precipitated the change?
- How did the town react to the changes they saw around them? (Be sure to use evidence from the film to support your answer.)
- Why was the unfamiliar threatening to some people in Pleasantville?
- Why is Bud obsessed with Pleasantville? What does he learn by the end that contradicts this (for the better)?
- What does Pleasantville state about the reality of the “idyllic” 1950’s?
- What does Pleasantville lack that makes it pleasant and bland?
- The newfound enlightenment which David and Jennifer bring to Pleasantville also provokes crimes and hatred in people who had been so wholesome earlier. Why? How is this paradoxical?
- Most of the movie portrays people becoming colored after sexual acts. What was the director’s true purpose for their change of color?
- Why did the director choose the 1950’s as the time period for the film? (Think – What statement is he making about conformity and its effects on society?)
- The director wrote a very light-hearted comedic film but chose to address controversial topics in our culture such as race, sex, religion, and sexism. Although the story has a happy ending, we know that many of these topics are still relevant today. Why did the director choose to tackle all of these in this film? Why do you think he chose humor to address them? What do you think his message was for the audience?
- What impact would the absence of reading have in our lives? What importance does it have in communication?
Activity 9
Watch a couple of film clips from this website: http://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCuw7mwCUa3RTEQGptaF8tYKRj1TjF6UD in order to deepen our understanding of the expectations of young people in the 1950's.
Then watch this clip: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CrYX9j3Tqzw in order to grasp the full implications of these videos in our social history.
Activity 4 - Take notes on what you learned from the videos about the 1950's.
Activity 10
Create an outline/timeline of the history of firefighters according to Beatty.
Activity 11
Do you agree or disagree with Beatty’s ideas about education: Do you agree with his charge that “a book is a loaded gun?” That books violate the idea that “everyone is made equal?”
Activity 12
Explain why Bradbury chose “The Sieve and the Sand” as section titles. Be sure to explain what the title means. How does this deepen your interpretation of these sections?
Activity 13
Quickwrite/Discussion on Mechanical Hound Symbolism – Reread the detailed description of the Hound and the battle. Why might Montag’s expression of affection to the Hound mark a turning point in his development? What role does affection play in this world? What might be the significant of Montag’s final battle with the Hound? Finally, how might the Mechanical Hound be a symbol for Montag’s world?

Activity 17
Icarius – Beatty refers to the myth of Iarus, told in Ovid’s first-century poem, The Metamorphoses. Why does Bradbury compare Montag to Icarus. How does this shed light on Montag’s development?
Book of Ecclesiastes – Read the bible passage that Montag chooses to memorize.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
- What does this passage mean? Why is it significant? How does it connect to a theme in Fahrenheit?
- What does this passage tell the reader about Guy Montag? Why does he choose this keep alive?
