<Typing Template for GCU Papers for Lower Division Courses>

Formatting: This is an electronic template for papers written in GCU style. The purpose of the template is to help you follow the basic writing expectations for beginning your coursework at GCU. Margins are set at 1 inch for top, bottom, left, and right. The first line of each paragraph is indented a half inch (0.5"). The line spacing is double throughout the paper, even on the reference page. The font style used in this template is Times New Roman. The font size is 12. When you are ready to write, and after having read these instructions completely, you can delete these directions and start typing. The paragraph formatting should stay the same. If you have any questions, please consult with your instructor.

Citations: Citations are used to reference material from another source. When paraphrasing material from another source (such as a books, journals, website articles, etc.), include the author’s last name and the publication year in parentheses. When directly quoting material word-for-word from another source, use quotation marks and include the page number after the author’s last name and year.

Using citations to give credit to others whose ideas or words you have used is an essential requirement to avoid issues of plagiarism. Just as you would never steal someone else’s car, you should not steal their words either. To avoid potential problems, always be sure to cite your sources by referring to the author’s last name and the year of publication in parentheses at the end of the sentence, such as (Daresh, 2004) and page numbers if you are using word-for-word materials, such as “There are no simple strategies for accomplishing successful transitions, but we do know a great deal about how to get off to a good start” (King & Blumer, 2000, p. 356).

The reference list should appear at the end of a paper (see the next page). It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text. Reference notes are formatted using a hanging indent of a half inch (0.5"). A sample reference page is included below; this page includes examples of how to format different reference types—books (Black & English, 1986), journal articles (Arnold & Dodge, 1994), and website articles ("Seventeen Moments," n.d.).

My Assignment Due Date: Feb 22, 2015 23:59:59       Max Points: 95 Details:

Find an example of a persuasive argument (it might be found in a part of a speech, a scene in a movie, a news story, an opinion posted on an Internet blog, or a sports show). Be sure to select an argument that is appropriate for this assignment. Do not try to analyze the argument of an entire movie or book or play.

Include a text version of the argument at the end of the paper.

In a paper of 750-1,000 words, apply Aristotle's ideas to the argument by doing the following:

1. Point out language that is used to appeal to pathos (emotions).

2. Point out language that is used to appeal to logos (reason).

3. What language establishes the speaker's credibility or ethos?

4. What does the speaker say to show they are honest?

5. Why should you think of the speaker as an expert on the subject?

6. What do they say to show they sincerely care about the listener's needs?

Conclude by evaluating the effectiveness of the argument.

1. Did it work?

2. Why was it good or bad?

3. What were the strongest and weakest parts of the persuasion?
