Introduce myself. Show a slide with the primary aims of the class. Show the lesson plan.

In the lead in, the 12 students are broken into three groups of four and have to come up with a name for themselves. Once the teams have been created, I will hand out the sheets corresponding to each means of persuasion: Ethos, Pathos, Logos and Kairos. I will then demonstrate how the game works before choosing a member of each team to start the game. Within each group each student is given a word related to the four types of persuasion: Logos, ethos, pathos and kairos. These words are ‘Tik Tok!’ (With a picture of a cupon) for Kairos, ‘Logic!’ (With a picture of statistics) for Logos, ‘Sensational!’’ (With a picture of different emotions) for Pathos and ‘Doctor!’ (With a picture of a doctor) for Ethos. There will also be gestures for the four types of persuasion: for logos the person will point to his/her head, for ethos someone will make a phone gesture, for pathos someone will point to his/ her heart and for kairos someone will look at his/ her wrist and point to the ground. One student will start with his/her word e.g. ‘Logic!’ and then say the word of another student e.g. ‘Tik tok’, that student will then say ‘Logic!’, ‘Tik tok’ and someone else’s word e.g. ‘Doctor!’ Before that person says ‘Tik Tok!’, ‘Doctor!’ And someone else’s word. If someone loses the game the game starts again 1 minute for instructions. 3 minutes for game. 1 minute for open feedback.
