Paper, Order, or Assignment Requirements

Type a 3-5 page research/analysis paper using ethos, pathos, and logos as tools for analyzing one speech from the list of 100 speeches in the Persuasive Speech Analysis Paper assignment description on Blackboard–Block 5. You may pick any one of the 100 speeches. You can find videos of many of the more recent speeches that are on the list, you can write the paper with just a written copy of the speech.

To complete the assignment: pick one speech from the list of 100 speeches on Blackboard Block 5, conduct research about ethos, pathos and/or logos. Read at least two research articles (or books) that cover some aspect of ethos, pathos, and/or logos. Use the information from the articles to help you analyze the effectiveness of the speech. Cite the two research sources in the text of your paper and in the Works Cited page. The paper may analyze the speech using only ethos or pathos or logos, you may also use all three or two of them. You may also discuss the relationship between ethos, pathos, and logos in your paper. Cite specific examples from the speech to support your conclusions. Review the assignment rubric included with the assignment on Blackboard. Follow MLA (Modern Language Association). To learn about MLA go to “How to: MLA Writing Style” in the Blackboard content area.
