At the conclusion of your Documented Report 3, you’ll need to reiterate the global problem you think the articles you chose for the paper explored. While you develop your final words on this problem, make a conscious effort to appeal to the reader through logos, pathos or ethos.
Choose logos if your argument will require a presentation or summary of facts and an objective, reasonable tone.
Use third person address or even passive voice
Select objective and neutral diction to present the facts
Try to use a “reasonable sounding” three-part series
Choose pathos if you want the reflective to appeal through or to share emotion commonly held beliefs.
Use inclusive address: “we” and “our”
Select fair but subjective diction
Try to use a “highly invested” four-or-more-part series
Choose ethos is you have a personal investment in the subject and wish to express a tone of assuredness and authority.
Use first person address: “I”; “my”
Use a mixture of objective and subject diction to both commitment and reasonability
Try to use “authoritative, didactic-sounding” two-part serials
For this journal entry, address each of the following prompts:
Submit a draft of the conclusion for DR3. Try to reiterate the problematic solution or thesis the articles in DR3 share. Expand on this problem with a reflection of your own using an appeal of logos, pathos or ethos.
In a separate paragraph, explain why you feel the appeal you chose (logos, pathos, or ethos) was more effective than the others.

One factor all the articles assigned for Module 3 share is a critical world problem that is growing more challenging but for which there may be some possible solutions.
Module 3 Course Selection Topic: Problematic Solutions
Even more than the previous two modules, the topics in Module 3 challenge a reader’s critical thinking. Deborah Blum, a science writer and the editor of The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2014, who also chose some of the articles in the Course Selection for her anthology, finds this challenge inevitable. She argues that we need all our powers of critical thinking, to understand and learn from “the unexpected complications that often come” with scientific or social “advances” as well as the need to understand the “curving, complicated line that links discovery and development, choice and consequence” (Blum xvii).
All of these articles’ topics–complex in development, global in impact, gargantuan in implication–are presented as problems to examine for both origin and solution. These articles challenge the reader’s critical thinking because there are no simplistic cause and effect dynamics to blame or “easy buttons” to push for resolutions. It takes some careful consideration to understand what brings scientific or social discovery to a sudden brink of disaster or brilliance–or to decide what might be done to avert or ameliorate a crisis at hand.
Critical Reading Skill: Argument
To learn more about the arguments for solutions in the assigned articles, read the Overview of M3 Course Selection Readings.
Plan on reading the set of articles more than once for 1) comprehension and enjoyment; 2) comparison/contrast of topics; and 3) critical observation of this module’s central research skill: textual referencing. Remember that, while it may be easier to skim the articles or only read them once, reading these articles several times for the purposes outlined above will deepen your understanding of the content and, ultimately, benefit you later in the course.
Read each of the following:
The Artificial Leaf by David Owen
Ecology: Wilson in Africa by Stuart Pimm
Imagining the Post-Antibiotic Future by Maryn McKenna
The Return of Measles by Seth Mnookin
TV as Birth Control by Fred Pearce
Under Water by Kate Sheppard

If you need a username and/or a password it will be available for the assigned writer.
Research Writing Skill: Presenting Argument
Typically, there are five steps in the presentation of a formal argument; although not all five steps need to be present, and they do not necessarily have to appear in a set order. Regardless, there is a technique to presenting an effective argument – one that will prove useful as you prepare DR3 and, later, your Research Paper.
Read through the Presenting Argument section of the Research Writing Skills website.
Five Common Steps in Presenting Argument
Identifying and Using Argumentative Appeals
Logos: The Appeal to Reason
Pathos: The Appeal to Emotion
Ethos: The Ethical Appeal
Argumentative Fallacies
Fallacies of Faulty Reasoning
Fallacies of Circumvention
Fallacies of Prejudice

Research Writing Skill: Conducting Credible Research Online with Databases
For DR3, you will need to find, save, read, and cite two magazine or journal articles from two research databases: the articles will support or refute some aspects of the M3 assigned article you will choose for Discussion 3 and Documented Report 3.
Read through the Conducting Research: Databases section of the Research Writing Skills website.
