AP Language Song/Lyric Rhetorical Analysis
This is a fun activity to do with your AP Language class! Your students will look at 8 modern songs and analyze each one for how the writer/speaker uses rhetorical devices to achieve his or her purpose. All lyrics and song titles are included, as well as, complete directions. Due to copyright laws, I could not include the songs, but they are all available on YouTube.
