Rhetoric is a Response and Demands a Response: Herrick, King, Malcolm X

9/8/2017

Starter

While you work on your starter, please have your Herrick reverse outlines out for me to check.

Storycorps episode from August 18, 2017: Francine Anderson
  • Would you classify this story as “rhetorical discourse”?  Why or why not?
    • If you don’t think it qualifies as rhetoric, explain what sets it apart using Herrick’s stated characteristics of rhetorical discourse (see your reverse outline or yesterday’s ppt for reference).
    • If you do think it qualifies, explain how Francine Anderson (and the Storycorps format in general) uses the resources of language (the 4A’s: argument, appeals, arrangement, aesthetics) to modify/influence the perspective of the audience.

Agenda

CLASS 3/4: Last 10 min. of class = Tidy up!!!

Review Herrick's reading, questions and key points (get out your Herrick readings and reverse outlines)


Rhetorical Analysis of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech
  • Listen intently and annotate for the characteristics of rhetorical discourse that Herrick outlines in his article. Then, afterwards, discuss the following with a partner:
  • What are the components of the Rhetorical Triangle for this exchange?
1.  What is the message? What arguments does he pose?
2.  Who is MLK Jr.? Is he a credible rhetor? Why or why not? 
3.  Who is the audience?
4.  What is the purpose?
5.  What is the historical context?

Watch another Civil Rights perspective:
Malcolm X: By Any Means Necessary

GROUP WORK: Complete the Rhetorical Analysis of King and Malcolm X's speeches
Turn this in by the end of the class period!
