Description
Let's face it, sometimes our rhetoric units aren't the most engaging ones of the year.

While it is important to teach these valuable documents, students will definitely appreciate some relevant and exciting teaching materials too. This set of 7 different movie speeches contains the perfect resources you need to get your high school (and advanced middle school) students actively engaged with persuasive language techniques.
