The following is a list of key rhetorical strategies. First, define your term. Then create an 8 ½” x 11” illustration of your device that will be presented in class. Do not write the device name on the illustration. These will later be scanned in and can be used as a study guide for the AP test. In addition to the illustration and definition, please come up with an additional written example of your device. Within your class, every one of the below devices must be covered.
(Note: We will look at fallacies at a later date.)
Analogy
Anaphora
Antithesis
Deductive reasoning
Didactic
Ellipsis
Euphemism
Exclamation
Inductive reasoning
Situational Irony
Dramatic Irony
Verbal Irony
Metonymy
Onomatopoeia

This assignment is worth 40 points.
