What strategies do you use when you are working on multiple choice tests?
How do they help you?
What struggles do you have with with multiple choice?

2. Objective!
Today we will analyze test-taking strategies and review how to apply concepts for our final exam!

3. First let’s review our terms…
What is rhetoric?
What is ethos? Pathos? Logos?
Give me examples of each of them!
What is central idea? How do authors develop it?
What do you include in a summary? What do you leave out? Why?

5. Distractor Analysis People who make tests are sneaky.
They make answers that SEEM right but are not the right answer.
We call these DISTRACTORS.
So I use distractor analysis to eliminate the wrong answers. Let me show you what I mean!

6. 1.Wiesel uses an emotional appeal to convince his audience that indifference to crimes against humanity is a dangerous approach. Which lines best illustrate that emotional appeal?
“Indifference elicits no response. Indifference is not a response. Indifference is not a beginning; it is an end. And, therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor.”
“Indifference, after all, is more dangerous than anger and hatred.”
“Wrapped in their torn blankets, they would sit or lie on the ground, staring vacantly into space, unaware of who or where they were -- strangers to their surroundings. They no longer felt pain, hunger, thirst. They feared nothing. They felt nothing. They were dead and did not know it.”
“Of course, indifference can be tempting -- more than that, seductive. It is so much easier to look away from victims. It is so much easier to avoid such rude interruptions to our work, our dreams, our hopes.”

“Indifference elicits no response. Indifference is not a response. Indifference is not a beginning; it is an end. And, therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor.” While this does make us angry, it is more a logical appeal. She is pointing out that by not standing up to the enemy, you are not standing up for the victim.

8. 1.Wiesel uses an emotional appeal to convince his audience that indifference to crimes against humanity is a dangerous approach. Which lines best illustrate that emotional appeal?
“Indifference, after all, is more dangerous than anger and hatred.” This statement is one that sets up an argument, not one that best utilizes pathos to appeal to emotions.

“Of course, indifference can be tempting -- more than that, seductive. It is so much easier to look away from victims. It is so much easier to avoid such rude interruptions to our work, our dreams, our hopes.” This is a good distractor because when we think about hopes and dreams, it seems like an emotional appeal, but this is really about how people look away from the victims. There is a better representation of pathos.

“Wrapped in their torn blankets, they would sit or lie on the ground, staring vacantly into space, unaware of who or where they were -- strangers to their surroundings. They no longer felt pain, hunger, thirst. They feared nothing. They felt nothing. They were dead and did not know it.”
This is the best example of pathos because you can see these men and sympathize with their pain. It makes you feel sad for them and angry that people saw this happen and did nothing.
