I created this assessment to assess students' ability to evaluate a persuasive speech along with evaluating whether they can delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text (common core standard RI.8.8.)

This item contains two persuasive speeches for students to evaluate.
Multiple choice questions and an essay question. (All of the questions are broken down by common core standard).
Common Core Assessment Rubric that breaks down each question and looks at the overall proficiency of each standard.

The speeches include:

-Did Radical Patrick Henry Start the Revolutionary War?
-Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death

Common Core Standards Assessed:

RI.8.1.
RI.8.2.
RI.8.6.
RI.8.8.
