What are the expectations of the oral project?
What are some handy devices for effective oral discourse?
Rhetorical Devices Activity
1. In groups (or solo if you choose), come up with original examples of each rhetorical device. You may draw on the course concepts or make up silly examples. I recommend that for at least some of them, you play with political ideas. Think about how politicians and other rhetoricians can use the devices.
2. Record your examples on this Google Doc.
3. Review the examples of year peers.
4. Consider how you might incorporate some of the devices into your own project.
