Planning techniques: Logos, ethos and pathos

In this lesson, we will look at planning techniques that will help us generate ideas as well as produce a balanced and thoughtful viewpoint essay plan. We will do this by looking to the Greeks and learning about 'logos', 'ethos,' 'pathos' and 'kairos'. We will then have an opportunity to start creating a plan using a framework to help sequence our ideas.
