Take that Aquinas!

We’ll start with Letter presentations.  I’ll give you 5-10 minutes to get started.

Next, I want to talk about rhetorical figure. Below is a list of 10 figures. Each group will be responsible for 2 figures to write a short flyer for. Each flyer will have the name of the figure, a quick definition, an example, and a picture that helps students understand what is being described.

1.    Code Grooming
2.    Phronesis: Common sense
3.    Kairos
4.    Analogy
5.    Allusion
6.    Hyperbole
7.    Eutrepismus
8.    Prolepsis or Procatelepsis
9.    Polysyndeton
10.    Rhetorical Question

Also, see these larger lists (here and here) to get an idea of the variety of figures out there.

Finally, we’ll take a stab at On Lying in Bed by G.K. Chesterton.Read and analyze the rhetorical strategies using Logos, Pathos, and Ethos as a guide.

HW: I want to have a short quiz over the LEP lectures and these figures on Wednesday.
