Description
I combined all of my favorite rhetorical analysis resources into one product! When teaching my students about the art of persuasion, I love using Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" and "Letter from Birmingham Jail." The use, analysis, and comparison of these two texts by Dr. King encourage the thinking, discussion, and analysis necessary to help students understand the elements and complexities of argument.
