PowerPoint Presentations for ASSURE Unit Plan





PowerPoint Presentation 1 focuses on Rhetorical Devices in poetry. It is important for students to be able to identify and recognize these devices as well as use them appropriately in everyday writing. The slides not only define the terms, but give models as to how these devices should be used. The presentation also gives students an opportunity to compare and contrast the elements. There is a great amount of room for exploration and building upon these skills as students begin to create their own uses of rhetoric.

PowerPoint Presentation 2 focuses on the basics of patterns in poetry. The slides give examples of simple poems and their patterns so that students can recognize the organization of poetry. This presentation gives opportunities for the students to interact with the material. This may be accomplished with teacher's aid both orally and written. Whether to perform these exercises orally or written is at the discretion of the instructor, as the cognitive and literacy levels of the students may vary.
