Agenda
Speech in the Virginia Convention

Before reading Speech in the Virginia Convention, we covered some introductory information on Patrick Henry (p. 184) and went over some of the tricky vocab students will encounter (p. 185).

Speech in the Virginia Convention: Assignment Instructions

After reading Speech in the Virginia Convention, students must complete the following assignment. You will have the class period tomorrow to finish it. I went over the instructions before having the students read the speech so that they can be on the look out for different examples as they read.

(1) Ethos, Logos, and Pathos Appeals: You need TWO examples of each type of appeal from the speech.  Each must be explained as to why it is that type of appeal.
(2) Metaphors: You need TWO metaphors from the speech.  Make sure you label them as metaphors.
(3) Restatement, Repetition, and Rhetorical Questions: You need TWO examples each of restatement, repetition, and rhetorical questions.
(4) Imagery: Give THREE examples of imagery.
(5) Parallelism: Give TWO examples of parallelism.
(6) Counterpoint/Refute: You need ONE example with an explanation of how it is a counterpoint to Henry’s argument/appeal.
(7) Charged Words: List THREE charged words.

If you don’t finish it by the end of the period, it becomes homework.
