Description
Rhetorical analysis doesn't have to only be powerpoint presentations on ethos, pathos, and logos. By using this inspiring, engaging, high-energy, and fame-filled graduation speech from Taylor Swift, students will practice rhetoric while gaining valuable life advice and having a conversation about college!
THIS PRODUCT INCLUDES:
- A student handout. Students will use the tool SPACE CAT for initial discoveries of the rhetorical situation and the choices. Students then will annotate the speech for rhetorical choices, rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, and logos) and tone. Finally, teachers may choose to use the ending table to keep a record of the items that were discovered and annotated during the discussion.
- Three general discussion questions are provided to guide a conversation after listening to the speech.
- A full answer key with guidance and suggestions for the teacher to follow.
