 • Length: 750-words to 1000-words in length; 5 paragraphs. Focus on fully developing and explaining your ideas.  

 Instructions: 

• In your essay, you will compare the two texts by Collis and Champion by answering and explaining: Which of the two texts do you find most persuasive based on its use of logos, pathos, and ethos and why? 

Essay Structure: The essay structure below is the format that your essay MUST follow: Introduction: Establish your topic with a clear topic sentence as your first sentence; briefly describe what you will be explaining and arguing in your three paragraphs; sum up your argument with a clear, direct thesis statement explaining your argumentative position. 

Thesis Statement Examples: 

1. “Despite C.P. Champion’s strong objections, Stephen Collis’ thesis is more persuasive, due to the support of historically-based logos examples, compelling and personal pathos examples, and trustworthy and authoritative ethos examples.”

 2. “While Stephen Collis’ proposal is interesting, C.P. Champion’s thesis is more persuasive due to the support of statistical logos examples, strongly-felt pathos examples, and populist ethos examples.” 

   First Paragraph: Compare, using at least two grammatically-integrated direct quotes from the texts as your evidence, the persuasiveness of two logos examples (facts, data, statistics, true anecdotal evidence): one from Stephen Collis and one from C.P. Champion, which they use to support their respective thesis. Explain why one author’s logos example is more persuasive than the other, and why it contributes to the overall persuasiveness of their essay. Second Paragraph: Compare, using at least two grammatically-integrated direct quotes from the texts as your evidence, the persuasiveness of two pathos examples (beliefs, values, ideals, emotions): one from Stephen Collis and one from C.P. Champion, which they use to support their respective thesis. Explain why one author’s pathos example is more persuasive than the other, and why it contributes to the overall persuasiveness of their essay.

 Third Paragraph: Compare, using at least two grammatically-integrated direct quotes from the texts as your evidence, the persuasiveness of two ethos examples (personal expertise and/or connection to topic; other experts’ opinions and evidence about topic): one from Stephen Collis and one from C.P. Champion, which they use to support their respective thesis. Explain why one author’s ethos example is more persuasive than the other, and why it contributes to the overall persuasiveness of their essay.   

 Conclusion: Topic Sentence; restate thesis in concluding language; briefly summarize the points you made in your body paragraphs; concluding sentence.

 Formatting Guidelines: 

1. Write 5 complete paragraphs for a total of 750-1000 words. 

2. Identify the title of texts and authors by their full name in your introduction paragraph. Put the texts’ titles in quotation marks. Subsequently, you do not have to refer to the full title, and you can refer to the author by their last name only. 

3. Give accurate examples in the form of direct quotes from your chosen essay to clearly and directly support your claims. 

4. Integrate your quotes grammatically into your sentence structure. 

5. Provide in-text citations that are correctly formatted according to your chosen citation style. 

6. Format your document correctly according to your chosen citation style (APA, MLA, etc.).

I will begin to utilize the math skills that I learned this week at work to give myself a better concept of my productivity. This is usually something that management is responsible for, but if I start to keep count of my own productivity on the spreadsheets that I work on a daily basis, I will be better able to present the math which shows my achievements, so when it comes time for annual review and I will better position myself for a decent raise. It has been quite a long time since I have taken a math course, but this past week has given me a new outlook, even though I was never great in math.  The Show What You Know diagnostic was something that I was really not prepared for and opened my eyes to the challenge I face in this class ahead. Math is a part of everyday living, from managing checking and savings accounts, calculating bills and managing a budget, and putting a percentage up in a retirement fund and so forth. So, I realize that even though we make think we don’t use math in our daily living, we do rely on math to maintain our daily, weekly, and our monthly needs and so on, and to plan for the near and distant future.

In my everyday life, i feel I use math quite a bit. I cook, budget my checkbook, figure out how many plate of food I need to prepare and I help my son with his homework. I also am a Retail Sales Associate, so I use math quite a bit. I figure sales tax estimates, prepare quotes, and figure my commissions on sales. I estimate and gather bills, while trying to figure what has changed on a customers bill when needed, we count every SIM card, and use math on inventory. I also use math when I do makeup, my passion. I use it by trying to create symmetry with my face. As the text suggests, math can promote creativity where allowed. I Guess I use arithmetic, algebra, probability, statistics and calculus in my daily life.
