Climate Change and the Future of Agriculture: A Debate on the Future of Europe Essay
(first half until the 55:00 mark)
Write a two- to three-page essay critiquing the debate. As always, I care greatly about your writing, spelling, and grammar. Your essay should answer the following questions. As you evaluate the debate, I want you to remove your personal views on the topic; instead, evaluate these speakers public speaking skills.
1. Who won the debate? Why?
2. Who lost the debate? Why?
3. On ten-point scale (with one as poor and ten as outstanding), how did each speaker perform in employing Aristotle’s rhetorical appeals — ethos, logos, and pathos? Please explain.
4. What were the most memorable moments of the debate? Why?
5. At what answer you think the losing speaker/group would want a second shot? What advice would you give them to improve?
