march 30

JOURNAL TOPIC:
In school we say, "Do your own thinking/use your own words/don't look at your neighbor's paper."  At work we say, "Be a team player/share your thinking/anything you say or type on company hardware belongs to the company."  When are our thoughts private and when aren't they?

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. In-class essay

ESSAY TOPIC:
Some people are more convincing than others.  Using what you've learned over the past two weeks, explain what makes a speaker persuasive.  Be sure to include ethos, pathos, and logos, as well as examples of the logical fallacies (either because a speaker avoids them in using good reasoning, or because a speaker uses them to con listeners with bad reasoning).  Also remember a pre-write, and please be sure to proofread.  Due at the end of the period.
