Learning Targets
I can break down JFK’s speech
for the rhetorical devices used
in the speech.
I can communicate my
understanding of the ethos,
pathos, logos, and rhetorical
devices used in JFK’s speech in
a formal academic paragraph.
Purpose/ Sender
Purpose: The goal the speaker wants to achieve.
Example: Malala Yousafzai wrote her blog primarily to call attention to what
she believed was an unjust situation- limitation on the educational
opportunities available to women in her culture-but she also intended to
criticize the regime that created such oppression.
Audience/ Receiver
Audience- The listener, viewer, or reader of a text.
Most texts are likely to have multiple audience.
Example: Knowing his audience well, President Abraham Lincoln used a series
of biblical allusions in his Second Inaugural Address to urge unity between the
North and South at the end of the civil war.
Claim, Supporting Claim, Counterclaim
Claim
: states the
argument’s main idea
or position. A
claim differs from a topic or subject in that a claim
has to be
arguable
.
Supporting Claim
: Sub-points to the claim that
support the main claim.
Counterclaim
:
An opposing argument
to the one a
writer is putting forward.
What are JFK’s claims, supporting claims, and
counterclaims?
Rhetorical Devices and their Effect
Rhetorical Analysis Paragraph
Topic Sentence
This is a modified thesis statement.
In
_
title in quotations or underlined, as appropriate
_
by
_
first
and last name of author
_, the speaker makes use of several
rhetorical devices including:
_
insert a list of devices and
strategies here
_
in order to further his/her claim that
_
insert
speaker’s main claim here
_.
In
the now famous inaugural address
by
John F. Kennedy,
the
speaker makes use of several rhetorical devices including:
juxtaposition and analogy
in order to further his claim that
people of America, and the world, need to come together as one
to make the world a better place.
Analysis, Analysis, Analysis
_
Speaker’s last name
_ makes use of __
first device/strategy from list
_ to
highlight _
something about her claim__
. An example of this is when he/she
says, “_
insert textual evidence here
_.” This example functions as _
the
device/strategy
_ because _
explain how the device/strategy works (you can
use more than one sentence)_
. This allows the speaker to _
explain how the
rhetorical device develops this particular part of the speaker’s claim (you can
use more than one sentence)
_.
JFK makes use of juxtaposition to highlight humanities new “power to abolish
all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life” (JFK). This example
functions as juxtaposition because he positions the ability to solve human
poverty next to the ability to end human life. This this allows the speaker to
make a choice in mind of the audience to work towards a bright future or a
radioactive end.
Counterclaim!
_
Speaker’s last name
_ makes use of __
first device/strategy from list
_ to
highlight _
something about her counterclaim
. An example of this is when
he/she says, “_
insert textual evidence here
_.” This example functions as _
the device/strategy
_ because _
explain how the device/strategy works (you
can use more than one sentence)_
. This allows the speaker to _
explain how
the rhetorical device develops this particular part of the speaker’s claim (you
can use more than one sentence)
_.
JFK makes use of analogy to highlight his counterclaim that the rise of
dictators should not be supported by the rest of the world. An example of
this is when he mentions, “in the past, those who foolishly sought power by
riding the back of the tiger ended up inside”(JFK). This example functions as
an analogy because he shows that dictators are the ones riding the tigers and
the tiger is the power itself. This shows that this new power is not something
that one person can without dire consequences.
Conclusion- Wrap It Up!
These two rhetorical devices work together to __
the tone that is
created
__that __

h___.
These two rhetorical devices work together to create a hopeful yet warning
tone that inspires and warns that American people and the world.
