Today in class, we continued our formal appeals analyses for ethos, logos, and rhetorical devices. These analyses focus on the same sorts of information we looked at in our first set of speeches. This time however, students will be analyzing a new speech independently. Copies of the previous analyses with comments of strengths and areas for improvement, have been returned to help guide individuals in this work.
Everyone received copies of these analysis sheets in class and had the rest of the period to find appropriate speeches. The basic requirements for these speeches are as follows:
Must be 1,500 words or longer (exceptions can be made for appropriate speeches if discussed with me).
Everyone will need a separate speech for ethos, pathos, and logos.
A speech used for the analysis of ethos, pathos, or logos may be used to analyze rhetorical devices or logical fallacies.
(This means each person will be analyzing three different speeches in all)
Everyone had the period to work on their analysis. I checked in with people individually to determine which speech they were using for which appeal analysis and was on hand for any questions people had.
Handouts:
Formal Analysis: Ethos
Formal Analysis: Logos
Formal Analysis: Rhetorical Devices
Homework:
Begin working on your formal speech analysis.
Everyone will have the class tomorrow and on Friday to work on this work.
Analyses are due on Friday.
