About
This quiz comprehensively assesses students' mastery of Advanced Placement Language and Composition rhetorical analysis concepts, making it appropriate for grades 11-12. The questions test students' understanding of argumentative structures, particularly classical oration and the Toulmin model of argument, along with extensive coverage of logical fallacies and types of evidence. Students must demonstrate knowledge of formal argumentation terminology including claims, warrants, qualifiers, and reservations, as well as distinguish between inductive and deductive reasoning processes. The quiz also evaluates students' ability to identify and categorize various logical fallacies in both theoretical definitions and practical applications through visual examples, requiring them to apply their understanding of concepts like ad hominem attacks, false dilemmas, hasty generalizations, and post hoc reasoning to real-world scenarios. Created by Carrie Reading, an English teacher in the US who teaches grades 9-12. This assessment serves as an excellent summative evaluation tool following instruction on rhetorical analysis and argumentative writing techniques fundamental to AP Language coursework. The quiz functions effectively as a chapter test to measure student comprehension before moving to more complex rhetorical analysis tasks, and can also be adapted for review sessions prior to AP examinations or as a diagnostic tool to identify areas requiring additional reinforcement. Teachers can utilize individual sections for targeted practice on specific concepts like the Toulmin model or logical fallacies, making it versatile for both formative and summative assessment purposes. This quiz aligns with Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.11-12.8 for evaluating reasoning and evidence in texts, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.WHST.11-12.1 for writing arguments to support claims in an analysis using valid reasoning and relevant evidence.
