Help your students analyze persuasion, bias, and logic—without the chaos.

Teaching 12 Angry Men can be one of those “so good, yet so hard” units. The conversations are powerful, but keeping students focused on how persuasion works (and not just who’s right) can feel like herding cats.

That’s where these free 12 Angry Men Trackers come in.

This set of easy-to-use charts helps students analyze rhetorical appeals, logical fallacies, and performance choices—so they can truly see how bias and reasoning shape justice.

What’s Inside?

Appeals Tracker
Students identify and explain examples of ethos, pathos, and logos as each juror argues their case.

Fallacy Tracker
They catch flawed logic and name the fallacies that influence the discussion and verdict.

Film Comparison Chart
They compare how persuasion shifts from text to screen—analyzing tone, delivery, and performance choices.
