Keywords:
Persuasion, Strategies, SpeechAbstract
This paper investigates the application of Aristotle's three modes of persuasion—ethos, pathos, and logos—in Cameron Allen's education-themed speech "Education For All," delivered at TEDxKids@ElCajon. The study employs a qualitative research methodology, utilizing descriptive analysis to examine how Allen's speech employs these persuasive strategies to engage and influence his audience. The research identifies the effectiveness of Allen's credibility, emotional appeals, and logical arguments by dissecting specific examples. The findings aim to provide valuable insights into effective communication strategies, particularly for educators and public speakers, by demonstrating the practical application of classical rhetorical principles in modern discourse. The study also underscores the significance of persuasive communication in educational contexts and offers practical implications for enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes through the strategic use of rhetoric
