Today, we returned to work with rhetorical devices looking at nine new devices. I handed out an informational sheet that defines and gives examples for these devices as well as the other devices we learned previously. Working with a partner, everyone took the rest of the period to come up with their own examples of these rhetorical devices in use.
The devices we were working with today were:
Anecdote
Hyperbole
Understatement
Syllogism
Enthymeme
Hypophora
Rhetorical Questions
Procatalepsis
Concession
Handouts:
