Assess students' ability to apply rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, logos), construct fully developed Toulmin-style arguments (claim, grounds, warrant, backing, qualifier, rebuttal), identify common logical fallacies in source material, and produce effective rebuttals and revisions that strengthen warrants and evidence in an advanced persuasive essay context. Tasks include analyzing sample arguments for weaknesses, composing a graded persuasive essay using the Toulmin framework, and annotating/rewriting passages to remove fallacies and improve persuasive force.
