All 10th grade students research and learn to effectively craft an argument based on the three aspects of Rhetoric- ethos, pathos, and logos. Students spend 4th quarter researching a topic of interest to them, researching all pro and con arguments, writing a paper that clearly demonstrates their understanding of the topic as well as their ability to write a well-written research/ rhetorical paper, and preparing a speech that persuades their audience to take the next step. This is a second semester final for all 10th grade sophomores. |
