Part A Read through FDR's "Four Freedoms" speech and make note of the claims he makes. Use the table below to organize your analysis. Then, analyze the rhetoric he uses to support the claims. Does the rhetoric contain a fallacy? If so, give an example from the text as evidence. Lastly, assess the impact the rhetoric has on FDR's arguments. Does it validate or weaken the argument? Review the rubric to ensure your response meets expectations. TIP: You will be able to use this organizer in the upcoming lessons and unit activity. Save a copy before submitting your notebooks.
