Today's Goals:
1. Be able to define rhetoric and respond to an example of rhetorical discourse
2. Learn more about what's going on in the world today and begin to brainstorm topics for your op-ed


Starter #33
Watch this Simplified explanation of the Syrian Refugee Crisis and evaluate the rhetoric in the video:
  • What emotional appeals does the "author" make? 
  • What is one piece of evidence he uses to defend his perspective?
  • Do you think other European countries (and the U.S.) should take in more refugees?
