Climate Rhetoric Answer Key

In this persuasive reading worksheet, students analyze an excerpt from a speech on climate change to explore rhetorical appeals and author’s purpose. Learners closely read the passage to identify how the speaker uses ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade the audience about global warming. They answer guided questions that require identifying evidence of credibility, logic, and emotional appeal. Students also evaluate the speech’s overall effectiveness and how rhetorical techniques strengthen the message. This activity encourages critical thinking, close reading, and written analysis skills that align with college-prep expectations for persuasive texts.
