Assess students' ability to identify and analyze rhetorical devices (ethos, pathos, logos, repetition, parallelism, rhetorical questions) and speech structure (hook, claims, evidence, transitions, conclusion) in a brief historical speech excerpt, then apply those devices and structure to produce a 150–250 word adaptation suitable for Grade 6–8 readers that preserves the original persuasive intent; include a 100–150 word justification mapping each key change to its persuasive purpose and audience-appropriate choices.
