3. Love is in the Air Rhetorical Valentine Writing Activity
Since tomorrow is the day of love, today you will practice the art of rhetoric by writing a persuasive valentine.
Your audience may be whoever you desire – a friend, parent, sibling, favorite teacher, or a significant other.
You may write in whatever form and tone you want (maybe it’s a lovey-dovey poem, a serious letter, a sarcastic sonnet…)
Follow the instructions on your handout to show me which rhetorical devices you are using.
You must turn in a rough draft on the handout.
Create a beautiful final draft to gift to your Valentine tomorrow.
