Bell Ringer =="Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward."== //--//Henry Ford

 * We all face such unique challenges each day that require us to use extraordinary courage. Think of the child in the photo who battles cancer in St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Think of her parents. Think of her siblings. Think of her doctors.


 * In the Lists section of your notebook, list situations that you have been in that required courage. What other situations can you think of?

 ==Writer's Workshop: Continue Working on Your Argument == Set up a paper in your notebook with the following information:
 * 1) What is my topic?
 * 2) What type of persuasive component am I going to create? (What genres are you going to use?)
 * 3) What does this genre tell your audience about you topic?
 * 4) What is your rationale for selecting this genre to present this information specifically? (Why did you choose this genre?)
 * Answer the above questions for 4 individually selected genres. Remember you must have 5 genres total, but 1 is your persuasive essay we are working on in class.


 * Ethos- How will you connect with your audience? How will the reader know that you are credible?
 * Pathos- How will you tug at your readers' emotions?
 * Logos - What are some points you plan to make that will convince readers based on logic? What reasons are you giving to support your claim?

Remember Look at your audience! How are you going to convince your audience?
