Abstract
This support document was created with the assistance of middle and high school ELA educators from across the state to help teachers, particularly those in grades 6-8, better understand the concept of rhetoric as it relates to the expectations of the grade-level indicators. Because rhetoric and argument are intertwined, this document provides support on the basic elements of argumentation as presented in both the Applications of Reading and Written and Oral Communications strands. The 2023 South Carolina College- and Career-Ready ELA Standards move the introduction of rhetoric from English 1 to sixth grade. Identifying, recognizing, and ultimately analyzing a variety of texts and text types, including multimedia formats, for rhetoric is a real-world skill that impacts critical thinking and decision-making. Teaching rhetorical analysis effectively in high school requires that students slowly build background knowledge in preceding grade levels.
