– To Do: -ANALYZE THE TEXT AND THE MUSIC VIDEO
– Examine text rhetorically, in terms of purpose, audience, and context, paying particular attention to the rhetorical appeals: ethos, pathos, and logos.
-Break down the text considering the separate parts and how they work together as a cohesive whole.

-Talk about the 4 elements: Auditory, verbal, visual
