The AP English Language exam focuses on reading, analysis, and writing about imaginative literature such as fiction, poetry, and drama from various periods.
This activity is a fun and engaging way to get students up out of their seats and interested in Rhetorical Strategies. Students will go on 5 "speed dates" where they will answer questions about themselves (which are ALL included in the PowerPoint) and discuss the questions with each other. After discussing, students have to write THEIR OWN responses on notebook paper, but they must include a rhetorical device. For example, one of the questions asks the students to describe what they look for in a significant other, but their answer must include all three of Aristotle's Appeals-ethos, pathos, and logos. For each "mini date" I play a song that is about 4 minutes. I have included the song titles at the bottom of the slides. Once they have been on 5 "dates" they should have a 5 paragraph paper that discusses different things about themselves utilizing various rhetorical strategies. EVERYTHING you need is in the PowerPoint: the songs, how the students rotate, the questions, the assignment...everything! You can do this on Valentine's Day or any day you want to get the kids excited about AP again. Enjoy! :-)
