Things are starting to come together; we have an audience, we've begun to think about the message, we have a few ideas for how to frame our message, now we need to think about how to get it out there.
Today, let's meditate on how we can best make our argument(s). What types of appeals will work best for our audience? Do the categories of ethos (authority), pathos (emotion), or logos (logic) help us think about which appeals might be most effective? How can we best get this message out there? Through which media?
I stumbled on this article in my online research, and thought you all might find it interesting:

Don't forget, also, to work on your rough "best practices" document; we'll try to refine those in class tonight, preparing for a weekend writing retreat in which we consolidate these into a single document.
Until this evening,
kevin
