Access the links above and respond to each link in your Google Document for Macbeth. Then, make two suggestions for other visual links for Macbeth.

You may watch these together but you must all put your responses in your individual Google Docs that you have shared with me.

"Rhetorical Devices"

Literary techniques and elements are the writerly tools most of you are familiar with.  Some of the essays and/or speeches that you will have to analyze for Part 3 of the Common Core Regents exam, however, make use of the what is referred to in the directions as "Rhetorical Devices".  We have studied these and applied them but you have not made use of them in your analysis of the Part 3 question.  You are trying to rely mostly on the other writerly tools that are referred to as literary.  Refer to the directions in Part 3 of the Common Core exams on the website- nysedregents.org/hsela

You will find that the writing samples that the exam selects to use can be more easily analyzed and responded to by identifying the following techniques that writers use:

Compare/Contrast
Classification/Division
Process Analysis
Definition
Description
Narration
Exemplification
Cause/ Effect

In some cases, the writers of the selections on the exam do not use literary elements/techniques- trying to analyze the text that way is difficult and time consuming.

In a google document that you created to explain the phrase "distinguish your claim....", define each of these above.  Then, look at the Part 3 selected texts on the Common Core exam website to identify at least one of the above terms in each of the Part 3 questions from the three different test dates on the website.
