Thursday, October 5 - 1st person POV / BIAS

Objective: By the end of class, students will analyze 1st person POV and persuasive elements in order to improve reading comprehensive skills.

DO NOW

BIAS = a slanted opinion...often with prejudice but it does not always have to be negative.

1ST PERSON POV - directly from the narrator's perspective. Uses the pronouns "I" and "we" and "me" and "us" - there is always some BIAS in 1st person POV.


Direct Instruction

Speeches are in FIRST PERSON. They usually always have a little bias because it is very difficult for one to be completely objective (fair).

WHAT DO YOU SEE????? What is your PERSPECTIVE??

Optical Illusions

Guided

The speeches we are going to analyze are PERSUASIVE  which means the speaker is trying to convince the listener of something.
It is, in a sense, AN ARGUMENT.

POV 1

POV

GOOD ARGUMENTS or PERSUASIVE SPEECHES USE:

1. LOGICAL APPEAL (LOGOS) - FACTS
2. EMOTIONAL APPEAL (PATHOS) - play on people's emotions
3. ETHICAL APPEAL (ETHOS) - do they have the knowledge and the right to speak on the topic? Are they respected in their field?

They also use, as discussed yesterday:
1. REPETITION
2. RHETORICAL QUESTIONS


Independent

Listen to and then read the Chief Joseph Speech and circle all of the words that are repeated over and over (used for emphasis). Also note any emotional appeals ( feel sympathy for )  and/or logical appeals (facts).
