Persuasive Writing with Ethos, Pathos, and Logos: Food Favorites!

Serve up a persuasive argument about your favorite meal with this writing activity for seventh and eighth graders! Using the guiding questions under each rhetorical appeal, students will use ethos, logos, and pathos to persuade their classmates to try their favorite meal. Learners are prompted to think about their credibility, the emotional experience of the meal, and the benefits of the food as they write their argument.

Using ethos, pathos, and logos can help students make stronger and more convincing arguments. Credibility, emotion, and logic are all cornerstones of persuasive writing, and learners must be able to use these in their own writing and identify them in real-world scenarios.
