In Ms. Vails class, students analyzed and identified examples of rhetorical appeals on various products. They learned how to look for examples of ethos (credibility of a brand/company, logos (reasons), and pathos (the emotional appeal.) This activity taught them how to pay attention to the quality of the brands and the language the company uses to persuade them to purchase. #MillsMiddle #Comets #OntheMove #PCSSD
