Description
This is a guided reading worksheet of one of Abigail Adam's letters to her son, John Quincy Adams. This provides students with a brief background of Abigail, guides them through the rhetoric packed letter, and assesses their ability to apply these ideas in their own writing. It's perfect for American Literature, AP Language, or any other course looking to combine history and rhetoric!
I recommend using this after a review of rhetoric basics (ethos, pathos & logos).
