Objective: I can understand and use the art of persuasion through rhetoric.

When we write our argumentative papers, and speeches, and when we read speeches we need to think of the three types of rhetoric

Rhetoric is the art of persuasive speaking.
How an author or speaker persuades you of their point-of-view.

As a side note: Rhetoric is important to understand for your use in the 9th grade. Your teachers next year will expect you to know this.

There are three types of rhetoric

• Ethos
• Pathos
• Logos

As you close watch the video, pay attention and take notes on what ethos, pathos, and logos are.

Metaphors:

Authors may help connect ideas to the audience by helping them understand through metaphors
