Rhetorical Situation Questions

5 Tips for AP Lang Teachers

coachhallwrites — 2024-06-21 17:26:03 UTC

Here are some of my top tips for honors and AP Lang teachers.

Commercial Assignment

coachhallwrites — 2024-06-21 22:58:52 UTC

Here's an activity to introduce rhetorical analysis. Please feel free to make a copy and select different commercials. I usually do the jigsaw first with one commercial and then do this activity with a different commercial to start introducing the concept of rhetorical choices.

Commercial Analysis Jigsaw

coachhallwrites — 2024-06-21 23:39:29 UTC

RA Introductions

coachhallwrites — 2024-06-24 01:36:50 UTC

Once students master a defensible thesis, you can have them experiment with different ways to start an essay. Remember that on the exam, an intro can be short.

RA Conclusions

coachhallwrites — 2024-06-24 01:38:11 UTC

While conclusion paragraphs are not a required part of the rubric, it can be helpful to make sure students know how to write one effectively.

This 11-minute documentary can pair well with either of Bush's speeches. I believe our APUSH teacher shows the documentary about the man in the red hat (if you'd like another option to consider.)
