I absolutely LOVED this! It made it very simple to teach rhetoric and identify supporting arguments. I used this with my gifted 7/8th graders and they did an excellent job with their precis!

Description

Whether you are using this speech to analyze rhetoric, tone, or diction, this annotating and highlighting activity will engage all learners. Print and digital options with optional rhetorical precis included. I recommend using paper and highlighters the "old-fashioned" way because it is far more kinesthetic, but the Google Slides file also allows for digital/paperless learning.

This activity requires 5 different color highlighters. I recommend (1) blue (2) green (3) yellow (4) orange (5) pink to correspond to the included documents and key.

This activity also provides an excellent opportunity to practice writing a rhetorical precis.

This zip file contains:

(1) PowerPoint with historical context timeline, rhetorical device review, document & key images

(2) PDF of activity and key (w/ digital link to Google Slides file), rhetorical precis graphic organizer, and word bank
