Introducing the Strategy: Adding by Looping
Looping is one way to add emotional appeal (pathos) to your writing. With looping, you underline an important sentence or a particular word or phrase. You then write a few more sentences to add new ideas. Repeating the process with the new sentences allows you to keep adding ideas to your writing.
3. Imagine you have drafted the following note to your family trying to convince them where to go on vacation. Underline an important sentence, phrase, or word, and then write two more sentences on the next page. Be sure to appeal to pathos by using power adjectives and verbs in your new sentences.
my Notes
Dear Family
I would like to go to Colorado for our family vacation. We could go on a rafting trip there! I have heard that rafting is an exhilarating experience. My friend’s family went last summer, and she described plunging down rapids and paddling against intense currents. Going rafting together would be exciting and would probably make our family bond even stronger.
Thank you for considering it. Your daughter

6 Before moving on, check for understanding by asking students to respond in writing or using think-pair-share.
