Positive effect of playing game and encouragement to play game for making the world better

1.You need to choose one of the two assigned essays and read several times critically, annotating the claim and the appeals.

2. If the claim is stated in the essay, then quote it. If not, put the claim in your own words, (writing objectively).

3. Note the different kinds of logos, pathos, and ethos in the essay. ( Use the breakdown on your copy of the Departmental Exam instructions.)

4. Develop a thesis that includes the claim of the essay and whether the essay was convincing or not. (This is the two-part thesis referred to on the Departmental Exam instructions.)

5. Write a paragraph detailing the kinds of logos that are in the essay. You need several examples: five as a minimum.

6. Write a paragraph detailing the kinds of pathos that are in the essay. You need several examples: five as a minimum.

7. Write a paragraph detailing the kinds of ethos that are in the essay. You need several examples: five as a minimum.

Write a concluding paragraph that concludes that the essay was convincing or convincing except for__________________. (These are essays published by a credible publishing company as examples of persuasive essays so they are effective. The same will be true of the essays on the Departmental Exam.) Explain how different kinds of appeals worked well to convince the audience. You must have at least one example each of logos, ethos, and pathos.

8. Write the three sentence introduction. The hook lead will be developed from a topic in the essay. It will not be about persuasion or appeals or anything you are analyzing for. (If you were using the essay about the Vietnam Memorial that we read in the descriptive chapter, then you would develop a hook about Viet Nam or the Viet Nam War or war memorials, etc.) Then you write a transitional sentence that moves you from the hook to your two-part thesis: the essay’s claim and the effectiveness of the essay as a persuasive essay.

9. Be sure that you have used correct documentation throughout. Because you only have one source, then once you have named the essay title and author in the transitional sentence, you will not have to (but may) use another signal phrase.

10. Yes, you need a works cited page, but because you cannot write one for the departmental exam (because you will not have the information you need to put in one), I am not requiring that you submit a work cited for this assignment.

11. Revise! Pay special attention to your topic sentences. To pass Composition I, you need to be able to compose all of the parts of an essay, including effective topic sentences.

12. Edit and proof!
