Rhetorical Terms in The Gettysburg Address

Obj: I can analyze the rhetorical terms in the Gettysburg Address and model the tone, structure and use of devices in my own writing.

 1. Opener: share intro paragraph with a partner
2. Review example rhetorical analysis essay with a class. What does the writer do with Isaacson's essay?
3. Reading #1: Rhetorical Terms
4. Reading #2: Questions for Rhetorical Purpose and Meaning
5. Multiple Choice- practice for next class!

What’s your “sacred place”? Your “hallowed ground”? Think of a place that holds great meaning for you.
HW: Create your own address for a sacred, or “hallowed,” space of your choosing. Your address must capture Lincoln’s in tone and structure and use of devices, but of course the content will be determined by the place they choose. Please label the devices you use in your speech!
