Direct Instruction / Guided / Independent

Take out your copy of Brutus' speech and Antony's (unless I have it in which case I will give it to you).

Get a neo and answer the following constructed response in 4 paragraphs:

Brutus and Antony both make compelling speeches at Caesar's funeral, using persuasive elements and devices and their best rhetoric. Analyze each of their speeches. Be sure to recognize the persuasive devices and elements used in each using examples from the text. Then, in your conclusion determine whose speech was more effective and why.


The first paragraph is your introduction, then two body paragraphs (one can be about Brutus' speech and the other about Antony's or you may address both of them throughout both paragraphs. Final paragraph is your conclusion where you will tell me which speaker was more persuasive and why.

Exit Pass

Print and hand in to me.
