Assess students' ability to identify and analyze how ethos, pathos, and logos function in persuasive speeches and opinion essays; distinguish the appeals, evaluate their effectiveness with textual evidence, and identify common logical fallacies (e.g., ad hominem, straw man, false cause, slippery slope, hasty generalization, appeal to authority, bandwagon). Tasks include short-answer identification, a 1–2 paragraph analysis of provided excerpts, and brief revision suggestions to strengthen arguments and correct fallacies.
