While we want argument and rhetoric to develop logically and follow a line of reasoning, we also must recognize that sometimes what others see as logical and reasonable depends on their experiences and emotional engagement. Because of this, making the rhetoric and language skills students learn in the AP Lang course matter often means helping students learn how to craft messages that resonate emotionally and still develop reasonably. Join Dr. Brandon Abdon and dive into how empathetic rhetoric can transform a student's relationship with an audience, encouraging conversations, fostering understanding, and even driving social change. Discover the effect of empathetic communication to connect with diverse audiences and gain practical skills to enhance your students' persuasive abilities, such as storytelling, personal narratives, targeted and strategic details, and emotional imagery.
