Michelle in MO Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 One of the sections for my unit study on the heroic is to have students do a rhetorical analysis of 4-5 speeches: "I Have a Dream" - Martin Luther King, Jr. JFK's Inaugural Address "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!" - Patrick Henry's Address to the House of Burgesses Lincoln's Gettysburg Address I have been searching for a good outline which would help students analyze the rhetoric and rhetorical effects of these speeches (i.e., use of alliteration, anaphora, etc.) It would be nice to introduce them to aspects of classical thinking, i.e., logos, pathos, and ethos. Any ideas? I need to adapt and change any sources which are available for the purposes of this study, but am looking for a decent outline or possibly rubric. Any help appreciated!
