What educators are saying
We used this resource in class when we were exploring ethos, pathos, and logos. Students enjoyed the varied examples and were able to engage with the text. This activity helped students understand E, P, and L.
This was a great resource to not only challenge my students' study of Thomas Paine, but to utilize their knowledge of rhetorical appeals.
