Presidential Rhetoric (with more to come, of course!)

Today we analyzed how our past U.S. presidents used rhetoric to bring comfort and resolve to the American audience.

In doing so, we read and discussed FDR's Address to the Nation following the attack on Pearl Harbor and George W. Bush's Address to the Nation on the evening of September 11, 2001.

Answer these questions:
1. TAP both speeches. Provide citation from the texts to support your assertions.
2. For each speech, identify, define and evaluate the effectiveness of THREE rhetorical strategies.
3. What similarities and differences did you notice between both addresses to the nation?
4. In a well developed paragraph, explain which address better served its intended purpose and why.
