Writing for academic purposes/ENGA102/Supporting your arguments/Logos
Logos is a rhetorical appeal to logic, where one argues that the only course or interpretation is the logical one, and that the source of logic is the argument being made by the writer or orator. To learn more about this, read "Logos" produced by Writing Commons and written by Emily Lane, Jessica McKee, and Megan McIntyre.
Now that you have read this article, prepare a blog post of approximately 400 words where you:
- Brainstorm some logical claims you could make to support your thesis statement.
- Reflect on how you might use logic, or logos as your sole rhetorical tool for your essay?
Remember to tag (Wordpress) or label (Blogger) your blog post using the course tag: enga102
Note that you can also record your reflections in a written journal, if you prefer, but sharing your insights with your classmates means that you can trigger a discussion that may lead to a deeper understanding as we can all benefit from each others experience.
