For American Lit. today, my daughter, two other high school students and I worked through an exercise to practice our skills at spotting rhetorical devices.
We read through Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech during our study time. As we did this, we tried to underline and name the various devices he used to persuade his original audience with this rousing speech. It was a most profitable exercise for the kids *AND* for me. I used this site as a reference. Give it a try! We only worked with the devices which they were all familiar, and that worked out great for our time frame.
