Description
What does it take to win an argument? With this bundle of seven real-world rhetorical analysis lessons, students will examine short articles on high-interest topics, identify specific rhetorical tools including ethos, pathos, and logos, and determine whether each writer is ultimately effective in swaying the reader.
Each of these real-world rhetoric lessons include:
• A full-text copy of a public domain argument essay
• A paper-saving handout of short-answer questions
• A Google Drive version of the essay and question set for students to complete online
• A detailed answer key to make grading easier and help the teacher lead a discussion of the answers
These materials were designed to help students begin the process of preparation for the analysis of argument prompts featured in the AP English Language and Composition exam and the GED Reasoning Through Language Arts essay. They also work great as stand-alone lessons, supplements, or emergency sub plans for any high school English class.
These lessons, built for students in grades 9-12, take between 40-45 minutes to complete or a bit longer if you review answers/allow students to debate some of the questions.
This bundle includes seven products, all sold separately at my store. If you’d like to take a closer look at any of the specific lesson materials, please click on the links below. Regularly, each lesson is $2.50 (or $17.50 for all seven); in this bundle, you’ll save 20% by purchasing them altogether for just $13.99.
