Identifying appeals

Writing practice: Identifying appeals

Using the questions in the chart in section 6b, identify the ethical, logical, and emotional appeals of an argument you have been assigned to read. Are these appeals appropriate for the audience and argument? Are they balanced and legitimate or lopsided and misleading? What do you learn about the argument by analyzing its appeals? Take notes in the space below, and then exchange ideas with a classmate.

You may review your answers by returning to the exercise at any time. (An exercise reports to the gradebook only if your instructor has assigned it.)
