How to create a reference page:

EASYBIB.COM

You must cite every website that you use for information and/or direct quotes in your essay and put them on your reference page at the end of your paper. I recommend doing this as you find sites so you have them available to you and remember where good information can be found.

DIRECT INSTRUCTION

This will be a 5 paragraph essay:
1- Introduction
2 - Logical Appeals
3 - Emotional Appeals
4 - Ethical Appeals
5 - Conclusion

How do you even begin? Do not get overwhelmed.

After choosing a topic, you will spend sometime researching logical, emotional and ethical appeals and thinking about a THESIS statement.

What is a thesis statement? A thesis statement is a single sentence contained in your introductory paragraph that embodies what your whole essay is going to be about. In a persuasive essay, it clearly states your opinion.

Example Prompt:
Does Facebook (or other forms of social media) create isolation?  Facebook lets people stay connected and meet new friends, yet some argue people spend so much time on social media that they lose contact with real life.

Thesis Statement:

In addition to negative emotional and ethical effects, logic has proven that excessive use of Facebook has a negative impact on individuals because they lose touch with reality.

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT DEVELOPING YOUR WHOLE INTRODUCTION YET.!!!

GO RIGHT TO THE BODY PARAGRAPHS.

THE FIRST BODY PARAGRAPH (logical - logos):

Example: In google, I will type, "logical reasons that Facebook can make people lose touch with reality" - 

Take 15 minutes to peruse some sites about your topic and logical appeals. Find one you like.

THEN: Write your first paragraph about the LOGICAL REASONS (LOGOS). Have ONE QUOTE in this paragraph.

Cut and paste the website address and put it at the end of your document - I will show you later how to make a reference page.

2nd body paragraph (emotional - pathos):

Then research - "negative emotional effects of overusing Facebook" - see what you come up with - take 15 minutes to read and decide on a good site from which to get information.

Write your second body paragraph - all about emotional effects an include one quote. 

Cut and paste the website address and put it at the end of your document - I will show you later how to make a reference page.

3rd Body Paragraph - (ethical, ethos, credible source)

Write your second body paragraph - all about FB using credible, believable sources an include one quote. 

Cut and paste the website address and put it at the end of your document - I will show you later how to make a reference page.

That's all for today - we will work on Introduction, conclusion and reference page tomorrow and Monday.
