09.05 - Rhetorical Devices

Class today was focused on correctly identifying and using rhetorical devices. I handed out a sheet that defined a variety of rhetorical devices including: metaphor, analogy, allusion, anaphora, and parallelism. We spent the rest of the class discussing these devices, writing examples, and then sharing and identifying examples.

Handout:
