Students will create a jot list identifying Persuasive Techniques in the following selections. Examples from the selections should accompany the identification. All techniques will not be in all selections.

Selections:

"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"

"Declaration of Independence"

"The Crisis, Number 1"

"I Have a Dream"

Persuasive Techniques (Emotional Appeal)

Repetition

Parallelism

Metaphor

Simile

Rhetorical Questions

On Tuesday, we will compare jot lists and organize the information into an essay.

Again, creating a list and showing what techniques are used in each selection will be enough for Tuesday. This does NOT have to be in paragraph/essay format. We will take the lists and edit/revise as needed.

See you in paradise on Tuesday.
