1 Descriptions of the three types of persuasion are In this section you are being asked to give the missing word or two that characterizes each specific type of persuasion. Only 1 2 words are really necessary to fill the blank but if you cannot remember the exact phrasing, use more words to describe the term. Clue: Think back to the words that we associated each term with. This could help jog your memory. Ethos is persuasion through convincing your audience that you are this type of person,. Pathos is persuasion through appealing to your audience s. Logos is persuasion through appealing to your audience s.

2 Scenario: You were just approached by Cassius and Brutus and asked to join the conspirators in their plotting to murder Julius Caesar. Not sure what to do, you decide to weigh both options. Letting Caesar live and plotting Caesar death? You re torn but you feel the need to act! Should you rebel against Cassius and Brutus and come up with a plot to help Caesar live, or help in the plot against Caesar? Think of both Caesar, Rome, and your own moral character. Part 1 Organizing your ideas: Using the three types of persuasion (ethos, pathos, and logos) write three arguments for killing Julius Caesar and three for letting Julius Caesar live. You must use at least 2 different types of arguments under each side (creating your own plot to help save Caesar and helping in the plot against Caesar.) Type of Persuasion being used: Argument/Reason why you should not join Brutus and Cassius plot against Caesar and should create your own plot to help save Caesar. Type of Persuasion being used: Reasons why you should help Brutus and Cassius in the plotting against Caesar.

3 Part 2 Picking a Side: Time is ticking and you need to make up your mind. It s time to make a decision. Choose one of the sides that you think you might want to take part in either to plot against the conspirators for Caesar or plot against Caesar with the conspirators. Fill in the blank below: What side did you choose?. But you re still being indecisive and cannot make up your mind and commit! As Brutus was in Act 2 Scene 1, you need some convincing. Part 3 Challenging your Choice, Persuading yourself: Looking at the side you chose to take part in, written about in Part 2, weigh both the pros and cons of your decision. In the end you ll end up siding with the side you chose to take part in, but you need to persuade yourself that this is the right thing to do. How to do this: 1) Look at the reason why you decided to do what you decided to do in Part 1. 2) Think of the pros to acting this reason and the cons to this reason. 3) Convince yourself that the pros outweigh the cons. Pros (+) Cons ( )

5 Julius Caesar Act 2 Comic Convincing Others to Join You! Pixton.com is a website that allows you to make your own, professional looking comics! Above, you convinced yourself that you either needed to rebel against Cassius and Brutus and that you needed to come up with a plot to help Caesar live, or that you needed to help in the plot against Caesar. Now you need to convince the public. Goal: Individually, students will make a comic strip, using pixton.com, that expresses their decision to either plot to overthrow Caesar or to fight to protect Caesar. They want to convince other people that they are on the right side of the fence and to join them there. Upon completion, students will then write a newspaper article, 2 3 paragraphs, explaining their comic and delving into the symbolism in their comic (if applicable), further convincing the reader to agree with the ideas present in their comic. They will also then do a behind the scene s analysis of their comic, exploring what types of persuasion they used in their comic. Role: You are comic artist and writer for Daily Roman, the leading Newspaper. There is talk throughout Rome that some might be a rising against Caesar. You want to convince the everyday people and the readers of your magazine that they should join the plotting against Caesar or that they should start their own plotting to save Caesar and why they should do this! To do this, you are going to create your very own comic strip and short Newspaper article explaining your comic so that the reader can understand your point of view from another perspective. (You will also be writing a behind the scene s analysis to the editor of the magazine, exploring the type of persuasion you use to convince your reader in your comic and article.) Audience: Your target audience is teens in 10 th grade that have just finished reading Act 2 of Julius Caesar and learning about various forms of persuasion. Situation: Students will be working individually to create and interpret their comics. Product, Performance, and Purpose: **Have students without an address create a gmail account, then a pixton.com account if they don t already have both.** Next, you will fill out the above handout and then you will begin to make your very own comic using Pixton.com. (Playtime should be provided for.) After creating their comic, have students put it in a Google doc, shared with me, where they will write a blurb explaining their comics, to the reader in Google docs. These will all then be put into a one, of the two, shared PowerPoints (either for the plot against Caesar or against the plotting). Each student will get a slide, and the Newspaper article they wrote will go on the page as well. The behind the scene s/letter to the editor will go in the notes section of the PowerPoint. These will be projected for the class to look at and see what their classmates

6 did. Students who want to share can come up and share their own, otherwise, at least every student s comic will be viewed. Standards and Criteria for Success: See rubric but their will be a self assessment as well as a teacher s assessment that will be taken into account.

12 SAMLPLE: Killing Caesar, A Mistake Indeed By Carly Herman Some say he s a threat, others are just jealous, but does that give up the right to take another life? Word in the forum is that there is some possible mischief at hand, set for the ides of March. Right now, Rome is in need of a leader, Caesar could be that leader. But some are afraid that he s too power hungry and that the negatives of his coronation could outweigh the positives. I say, let s wait and see. Caesar has shown us nothing but goodwill and consistency. He is a strong leader and yes, he does desire power, as shown by his diminishing denouncement of a wreath to adorn his crown, offered at the fertility festival days past. But whose resolve wouldn t sway? The fact that he didn t accept it outright and that thought went into his refusal marks his character as fine in my eyes, and as a reporter for this prestigious magazine I would like to say my gaze is unbiased until I have gauged both sides. However, I suggest that you, fair citizens of Rome, do the same. Don t smash the egg before you see whether it holds a stinging serpent or a singing blue jay. One provides the world with beauty while the other can swiftly be dealt with. We don t need to do things behind the back, let us bring this conflict into the open. Our strength lies in our love for Rome and the greater good of our Country. Letter to the Editor: Dear Editor, I wrote and created the above comic to try and persuade my fellow citizens not to act in haste against Caesar. I appealed to their sense of Ethos, Pathos and Logos, or at least humbly tried to. I believe that we ought to wait before we act. I don t want us to be rash and have civil war but I also don t want the people to be blind to the power that is Caesar. I tried to convince the reader of my own morality and my own good character. I also tried to appeal to their emotions by talking about the beautiful songbird, the blue jay, and their love for our great Country, Rome. As for the readers logical side or sense of logos, I hope that my argument was constructed in a logical fashion that was easy for them to follow. All in all, I believe that as long as we remain united and keep Rome in the forefront of our hearts and minds this conflict won t need to come to a nasty head. Yours, Carly
