[UPDATE 12:27 P.M. PST/ I may have to attend a meeting during our period.  If that happens, please write in your journal, then look up ethos/pathos/logos and take notes.  Define each term, present an example of each term, and be ready to discuss as soon as I get back.  If you have headphones, you can watch/listen to the speech on your phone.  If you don't, please do this at home.  Mahalo.]
