Identifying Persuasive Techniques - Ethos, Pathos, Logos Chart Handout

A general chart for identifying ethos, pathos and logos in a text. It also has a response question at the end, so the students have to do more than just check boxes.

I used this for a satire unit in a Senior English class with A Modest Proposal, but since it does not mention any text by name, it could be used for any persuasive text! I think it would also be useful in a history or civics class for analyzing political speeches and pamphlets, or even a media literacy unit!

Aligns with the following Common Core Standard:

RL.11-12.6. Analyze a case in which grasping a point of view requires distinguishing what is directly stated in a text from what is really meant (e.g., satire, sarcasm, irony, or understatement).
