Description
This Ethos, Pathos, Logos Activity is an engaging way to teach, practice, or assess your students' ability to identify each rhetorical appeal and explain how it is being used to persuade.
This resource includes:
- Links to multiple commercials that are clear examples of each rhetorical appeal
- An answer key for each video
- A ready-to-use worksheet that can function as a way to teach, practice, or assess
I used this resource successfully in my American Literature class for juniors after teaching and practicing identifying each appeal in foundational U.S. texts (ie. "Speech to the Second Virginia Convention", "Crisis No. 1", and "The Declaration of Independence").
