- Teach Argument With Valentine’s Day Rhetoric — Celebrate Valentine’s Day all week with your students by closely reading, unpacking, and analyzing the rhetoric of Valentine’s Day gifts. This bundle includes two major parts — the first is a close reading activity that asks students to carefully consider the “message” associated with different flower arrangements that might be gifted on Valentine’s Day, along with the rest of the rhetorical situation that likely accompanies each nuanced arrangement. The second activity asks students to extend their consideration of “messages” by analyzing Conversation Hearts — perfect as a Quiz-Quiz-Trade activity that gets students moving around, working in pairs, and unpacking language!
- Teach Argument With Super Bowl Commercials — What better way to teach close reading and rhetorical analysis than with Super Bowl commercials? Access the full 2025 bundle, which uses some of the most compelling Super Bowl commercials we’ve seen, to bring this to life with your classes immediately!
- Teach Argument With President Trump’s Second Inaugural Address — Access a comprehensive line-by-line analytical activity that prompts students to unpack the language of President Trump’s 1/20/25 inaugural address, with a laser-focus on language, close reading, and rhetorical analysis.
- Teach Argument with 2024 Super Bowl Commercials — In preparation for analyzing this rhetoric and compelling arguments that will surely be baked into this year’s Super Bowl commercials.
- Teach Argument with 2023 Super Bowl Commercials — An extended repertoire of recent Super Bowl commercials to analyze and consider alongside each other.

- Hopes & Dreams, Tropes & Schemes — A speed-dating style game that’s designed to foster students’ understanding of complex rhetorical devices in an engaging manner… A fun lesson year round, but especially fitting for Valentine’s Day.
- Teach Argument with Taylor Swift’s Hit Song “Lover” — This English Teacher Fun Box would be incomplete without at least one popular love song to closely read, analyze, and unpack with students… and Taylor Swift’s hit song “Lover” lends itself wonderfully to this purpose!
