In this recorded teaching demonstration, Instructor Jessie Bullard presents on the Three Rhetorical Appeals (Ethos, Pathos, and Logos) and conducts a participatory activity with students to engage them directly with the rhetorical concepts discussed. Additionally, the lecture and activity serve as process-steps towards the students' culminating project of the unit.
There is not live student participation in this demonstration, but there is real student work shown in the video and explanation for when student participation/engagement would ideally occur.
This website offers an overview for this unit's purpose; class readings for the unit; a sample course calendar for the unit; two informal assignments that include the directions for the assignment, rationale for the assignment, a student sample for the assignment, and a reflection on the assignment design; a formal assignment that includes the prompt/requirements for the assignment, rationale for the assignment, and a student sample of the assignment; a reflection that a sample student (who completed all three assignments) wrote on the process of completing this sequence of assignments and how FYC students might respond to it; and, my own reflection on designing this unit as a whole.
Collaboration with Other Colleagues
In fall 2020, fellow colleagues of mine in the rhetoric and composition department at CSU Long Beach participated in a Norming session for our College Composition students. We collaborated on making a prompt for a midterm timed essay, including materials for the midterm, the assignment, requirements, and question. After we each graded our own students' essays, we met for a norming session and participated in a group grading workshop.
