Emotional Appeals PPT
Emotional Appeals Activity:
Consider the ad or cartoon you choose for your group.

Identify the claim
As a group, develop a two minute rhetorical analysis of the visual of your choice that you will present to the class. Develop your thesis that relates to the emotional appeals it is makes. Decide what aspects of the visual you will discuss as evidence for that thesis. This is a chance to practice your presentation skills. Practice as a group, and make sure each member has something to say when it is your turn.
