Objective: By the end of class, students will examine non- fiction and persuasive techniques in speeches in order to improve literal and interpretive comprehension skills, evaluate effects and make real world connections.

DO NOW

Connotations handout. Remember connotations are synonyms but they can have a positive or negative FEEL. 

LOADED LANGUAGE uses connotations.


Direct Instruction

Propaganda uses emotional appeals and very little fact to manipulate someone to do something.

Persuasion uses LOGIC or FACTS and EMOTIONAL appeals to convince someone to do something.

Logical and emotional appeals

Additionally - PERSUASIVE TECHNIQUES used in SPEECHES are Repetition and Loaded language.

Guided / Independent

Martin Luther King was extremely persuasive. After completing the sidebars for his speech (pages 276-280), go back and write down all of the phrases MLK repeats several times throughout the speech. Then in constructed response format:

Analyze how the use of repetition in MLK's speech makes him more persuasive. Why does he use repetition? What kind of effect does it have on the listener?

Closure

If time view RFK eulogy speech as introduction to Wednesday's lesson.
