Divide into groups of three; two groups per speech.

Analyze speech in terms of classical rhetoric [the art of persuasion]. One person to report on each. Watch audience response for clues.

a. logos=the logical argument.

What is the claim (or thesis or assertion)? What support is provided?

b. pathos= the emotional appeal

What emotions of the audience are being appealed to? With what devices of speech, tone and gesture?

c. ethos=the ethical stature of the speaker; credibility and authority

How does the speaker try to make himself believable and trustworthy?
