🤔Do you really want the product, or are you just being tricked into wanting it? 🤔 🧠We will apply Aristotle’s rhetoric to answer that question! 🪄This class will use rhetorical analysis to help students decipher whether they want a product or are being sold by tricky marketing. The class will start with an overview of rhetorical proofs. We will review ethos, pathos, and logos and how they are the basis of persuasion. Then we will play a game called “Guess That Proof” to apply the knowledge. We will review advertisements for popular products that are targeted to children. Reviewing the advertisements, we will discuss how the markets adapt to their audience. What do kids like and how are marketers using that to convince them to buy their product?

I am a passionate and engaging educator with various teaching experiences and extensive expertise, and I want to help your child become a confident and empowered communicator!
I have been a Professor of Communication for over ten years. I have Master’s Degrees in Rhetorical Communication and Gender Studies and have taught Public Speaking, Introduction to Communication, Argumentation and Debate, and Interpersonal Communication. At my institution, I created the first special section of our required speech course to help students with anxiety. I firmly believe anyone can be a confident speaker with the right tools and training.
I also have three years of experience teaching children live in an online environment. I have helped elementary-aged children improve their English skills. In addition, I have experience tutoring young adults needing help with writing, editing, and research.
Communication skills are crucial to a child’s success, and I am passionate about helping everyone become better communicators. As a mom of three, I see the need for communication courses, and I see how much my guidance has helped my own children, so allow me to help your child with all their communication needs.Reviews
