Rhetorical Terms Test

This is a Google Forms multiple choice test and KEY with 75 total questions; 60 are knowing the definition of the terms, and 15 are example questions. I chose these particular rhetorical terms/strategies as they show up the most on the AP English Language exam. These terms are also the most common literary devices and are a great review for any Literature course or upcoming standardized state test.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways... Oh, Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning. This is my fully free-standing lesson on the couple's correspondence, as examined through non-fiction reading.

AP English Language Sullivan Ballou Letter to Sarah mini unit, essay prompt

I often hear myself telling the students the course could simply be called "Words Matter." As part of a unit on "The Language of Letters and Speeches," I have created this section on Sullivan Ballou's Letter to Sarah. He wrote this letter to his wife on the eve of his death in the Civil War. Although he himself surely did not take AP Lang, his letter is rich with rhetorical strategy, and begging for analysis. Original AP style prompt and discussion included. See lots more in my TPT store.

You don't have to own the movie--Students can actually randomly view the entire movie free on YouTube (in scenes). This guide gets students to truly "critically" view the movie, and uncover lots of symbolism they wouldn't otherwise notice. Questions are focused on important aesthetic details (and cinematic terminology).
