What educators are saying

This is the perfect way to introduce rhetorical devices. It begins by accessing prior knowledge and then introduces students to new devices. Notes are cloze which I love. Each device has a relevant example and there is practice embedded.
Rhetoric is not my strong suit, so this was a great resource for my students and myself! They really enjoyed the examples and figuring out what type of rhetoric certain ads were.
