Title from title frames

To help keep your essays from becoming overly sentimental, Professor Cognard-Black discusses pitfalls for writers to avoid. You’ll be introduced to three examples of what rhetorical theorists call logical fallacies and then take on the challenge of an assignment that brings together emotional appeals with rational ones to achieve credibility, empathy, and candor. You’ll examine Naomi Shihab Nye’s ability to blend rational argument with compassionate anecdotes, then hear a very personal take on the concept of “home” from Professor Cognard-Black
