1) Find an editorial or opinion article about the subject of your choice. Make sure it's interesting to you and about a significant subject.
2) Write a one paragraph summary. Your topic sentence should include the author, the title, the source, and the purpose of the piece. Follow MLA for formatting titles.
3) Below your summary, create a t-chart that lists the author's purpose on one side and a counterargument on the other side. You'll probably need to invent the counterargument.
4) For the author's purpose, list three pieces of evidence or arguments the author provides and label each as ethos, pathos, or logos.
5) For the counterargument, list three arguments against the author's claim and label each as ethos, pathos, or logos. These may come from the piece itself or you may need to invent them. They do not need to refute the arguments in favor directly.
6) At the bottom of your document, cite the article in MLA format.
7) Type it. You may single space your summary. Be sure to double space your citation.
