The objectives include defining these appeals, analyzing real-world examples such as advertisements, evaluating persuasive arguments, and developing students' own persuasive claims using rhetorical strategies. The session emphasizes identifying and analyzing these appeals in various texts, understanding how they function in persuasion, and discussing their effectiveness. Through interactive analysis of advertisements and a real-world challenge, students will learn to create their own persuasive messages. The ultimate goal is to equip them with critical thinking skills applicable in diverse contexts, from social media to professional settings.
