Tuesday's class began class by reading an editorial written by Leonard Pitts Jr. about Jay-Z. Pitts claims that rap has become a way of free advertising for various companies, and he accuses Jay-Z of being a pitch man rather than being a truth-teller or a world-shaker. We used this article as an idea of how to propose and support an argument, and as an example of an editiorial-a format very similar to many blog posts. Upon discussing the article, each student revisited their assignment from last week and answered as many questions as possible that they had written on their topic. Finally, we discussed ethos, pathos and logos.
