January 9 - In Class Assignment

I've always been a fan of quick and simple breakdowns of concepts in flow chart form.  I've also been a fan of handwritten text in digital form, but that's less relevant.  Granted this is a rather basic breakdown of the concept of rhetoric, but it's easily accessible and a quick reference for someone who is just learning what rhetoric is.  It outlines the concepts of logos, pathos, and ethos succinctly, and works to give one a starting point when analyzing an argument.  It also circles the idea that the most common appeal people make is emotional.  Being aware of that can help people take a step back and analyze the argument more for what it objectively is.
