Additional Campaign Task
On Tuesday, each group will give a speech announcing your candidate’s decision to run for president. One person in your group will assume the role of the candidate to give this speech (using I, me, we, and us). This speech needs to announce to the country why your candidate is running for president, why s/he would be the best choice, and what makes him/her qualified. Use all three types of arguments that were discussed in class (logos, pathos, and ethos). Research other presidential announcement speeches to help give you an idea where to start. This speech needs to be at least one minute and thirty seconds.
