8. Rhetorical Analysis Paragraph
Students will write a formal, academic paragraph to show a full understanding of the JFK Inaugural Address. Students will look at audience, purpose, and 2 of the 10 rhetorical devices to explore how they contribute to the claim and counter claim of the speech.

9. Topic Sentence This is a modified thesis statement.
In _title in quotations or underlined, as appropriate_ by _first and last name of author_, the speaker makes use of several rhetorical devices including: _insert a list of devices and strategies here_ in order to further his/her claim that _insert speaker’s main claim here_.
In the now famous inaugural address by John F. Kennedy, the speaker makes use of several rhetorical devices including: juxtaposition and analogy in order to further his claim that people of America, and the world, need to come together as one to make the world a better place.  

10. Analysis, Analysis, Analysis
_Speaker’s last name_ makes use of __first device/strategy from list_ to highlight _something about her claim__.  An example of this is when he/she says, “_insert textual evidence here_.”  This example functions as _ the device/strategy_ because _explain how the device/strategy works (you can use more than one sentence)_. This allows the speaker to _ explain how the rhetorical device develops this particular part of the speaker’s claim (you can use more than one sentence)_.  
JFK makes use of juxtaposition to highlight humanities new “power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life” (JFK). This example functions as juxtaposition because he positions the ability to solve human poverty next to the ability to end human life.  This this allows the speaker to make a choice in mind of the audience to work towards a bright future or a radioactive end.

11. Counterclaim!
_Speaker’s last name_ makes use of __first device/strategy from list_ to highlight _something about her counterclaim.  An example of this is when he/she says, “_insert textual evidence here_.”  This example functions as _ the device/strategy_ because _explain how the device/strategy works (you can use more than one sentence)_. This allows the speaker to _ explain how the rhetorical device develops this particular part of the speaker’s claim (you can use more than one sentence)_.
JFK makes use of analogy to highlight his counterclaim that the rise of dictators should not be supported by the rest of the world.  An example of this is when he mentions, “in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside”(JFK). This example functions as an analogy because he shows that dictators are the ones riding the tigers and the tiger is the power itself.  This shows that this new power is not something that one person can without dire consequences.

12. Conclusion- Wrap It Up!

These two rhetorical devices work together to create a hopeful yet warning tone that inspires and warns that American people and the world.
