Persuasive Writing with Ethos, Pathos, and Logos: Book Buzz!

Convince your classmates to read your favorite book with this persuasive writing practice! Seventh and eighth graders will write appeals using ethos, pathos, and logos to promote their favorite book and persuade fellow readers to pick it up. Each appeal includes a few questions for learners to answer to guide them in their arguments.

Ethos, pathos, and logos serve as the building blocks of persuasive arguments. By appealing to credibility, emotion, and logic, students can strengthen their arguments and become more persuasive writers. Knowing how to use all three will allow learners to choose the most impactful strategy for their message and identify its usage in other pieces of media.
