Using anecdotal evidence as evidence is good because...

most people tend to think in pictures and feelings and examples help people connect with what is being explained

most people do not know what numbers are or understand the importance of data

most people get bored without examples because they cannot pay attention for a long time

this is a trick question... examples are not good forms of evidence

Using a personal story as evidence means you

tell about a true event from your life that supports your claim

make up a story about something fictional to make your audience interested in reading more

tell your audience the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you

Using a someone else's story or experience as experience means

tell your audience about an experience someone else had that supports your claim

tell about a true event from your life that supports your claim

tell your audience the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you

What is a hypothetical situation?

When you ask your audience to "imagine if..." and talk about a made up situation to paint a picture and/or make a point

When you ask your audience if they have hypothermia

When you ask your audience to stand up and cheer for you

When you ask your audience a question but do not want an actual answer

What type of evidence is the BEST evidence to use?

Anecdotal Evidence (examples and experiences)

What is the point of explaining the evidence?

To show how the evidence proves the point and supports the claim

To show the audience that you are someone worth listening to

When you provide evidence are you using ethos, pathos, or logos?

You cannot say ALL evidence is one of the appeals; it depends on the evidence being used.

All evidence, no matter what, is logos because it is evidence.

All evidence, no matter what, is ethos, because the evidence you have is how you get trust from your audience.

All evidence, no matter what, is pathos because the evidence will make your audience feel something.

Why is it important to support your claim with evidence?

The evidence helps you prove your claim.

The evidence helps the audience understand your point of view
