  Topic: Periodontitis and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Prompt 1: What is your stance on the issue you wrote about in the Informative Essay? What did you learn in your research for the first essay that reinforced OR changed your initial stance on the topic? Finish this freewriting section with one strongly worded sentence to convey your point of view on the topic Prompt 2: It is important to know your purpose in writing any assignment, so let’s consider it here. Are you writing your argumentative essay to persuade your readers to agree with you or to persuade your readers to work with you to solve a problem? If you are writing to persuade, jot down some notes about the main points you would like to have your reader agree to. If you are writing to solve a problem, be specific about both the problem and the solution for which you will advocate. Finish this freewriting section by answering this question: Based on the lecture and your purpose, which type of organizational pattern will work best for your topic – classical or Rogerian? Prompt 3: The lecture defined logos as facts, ethos as credibility, and pathos as emotion. We want to employ a balanced approach as we persuade rather than relying on just one of these methods. Tackle each of these classical forms of persuasion as they relate to your topic and give an example of how you could use each in your argumentative essay. Logos – facts Ethos – credibility Pathos - emotion
