Loaded Language & Diction in Rhetorical Analysis {AP and Advanced ELA}
Teaching about diction can sometimes feel like a futile effort, but when contextualized within the idea of “loaded language” students can start to see that diction is more than just picking out words to create a mood.This lesson is an introduction to analyzing diction and loaded language in rhetorical analysis. In the context of my classroom, we began with a text that made heavy use of this strategy (we used “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”) and read that first. Then, I shared the slide

"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" SOAPSTone Analysis and Reading Questions
I can remember reading "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." Jonathan Edwards' sermon is certainly a memorable piece of American rhetoric. While this is a common text for American literature classes, the language is dense and challenging. To help students navigate this tricky text, I have selected an excerpt from the text and paired it with 25 side-by-side questions. The questions cover a variety of skills and topics, including figurative language, comprehension, allusion, inferences, author's

Allusions in Frankenstein: Purpose and Craft
Intertextuality is so prominent in our literature, especially in Frankenstein. I employ this handout with my advanced students as a springboard into the discussion of intertextuality and why authors use it in their works. It births fabulous conversations with lots of modern examples. Here I focus on the two dominant allusions (though there are more) of "Rime of the Ancient Mariner and "Tintern Abbey". Links to the full-text of both poems are provided as well as an answer key.Related Resource
