Rhetorical Appeals and Their Functions

Miss Bullock's flipped classroom lesson covers the three pillars of rhetoric: logos, ethos, and pathos. Logos is the appeal to logic, using facts and reasoning. Ethos focuses on the speaker's credibility and trustworthiness. Pathos appeals to emotions, often considered the most powerful persuasive tool.
