In this module of the course, you will begin to dive deeper into the study of academic argument that will involve analyzing arguments. You will understand how the concepts of pathos, logos, and ethos are used by professional writers in the readings your instructor has assigned. You will also begin to build more depth in your analysis of readings as you practice identifying implicit messages, cultural contexts, main ideas, and supporting reasons and evidence.

You will complete a discussion forum during this module, and the module will conclude with a formal analysis of the rhetorical strategies used in a specific reading. This essay will require more analysis and development than the previous assignments.

This module will last roughly 2 weeks.
