Description
Teach your students to identify, analyze, and write with rhetorical appeals using this fully designed, standards-aligned two-day PowerPoint lesson. Built specifically for AP Language and Composition and grades 9–12 ELA, this resource takes students from discovery to independent analysis in just 90 minutes of instruction.
What's included:
*19 fully designed slides with a color-coded system
*3 teacher guide slides with CCSS and AP Lang standards, learning objectives, differentiation strategies, pacing guide, and suggested mentor texts
*Day 1: discovery warm-up, direct instruction with deep-dive slides for each appeal, guided practice, and exit ticket
*Day 2: Do Now review, independent practice (annotate → analyze → evaluate), share out discussion questions, extension writing task, and AP-style exit ticket
Standards aligned to:
CCSS RI.9-10.6 / RI.11-12.6 and W.9-10.1 / W.11-12.1
AP Lang & Comp Skills RHS-1.A–C and CLE-1.B
What makes this resource different:
The warm-up uses a discovery approach — students read the same argument written three different ways before any vocabulary is introduced, allowing them to arrive at the concepts themselves. Every appeal is color-coded consistently across all slides, making the visual system intuitive for students. The independent practice scaffolds students through annotation, written analysis, and evaluation — the same thinking required on AP Free Response prompts.
This lesson pairs seamlessly with rhetorical situation and SPACE CAT analysis units.
Perfect for:
AP Language and Composition | 9th–12th Grade ELA | Argument and Rhetoric Units | Sub Plans (teacher guide included!)
