Meet Rhetomatic: a structured inquiry approach for introducing students to rhetorical analysis. Rhetomatic uses the concept attainment model to provide students with an opportunity to construct their own knowledge about key rhetorical concepts.
In short, this approach provides students with examples and unexamples of each concept, prompting students to explore their own definitions for the rhetorical devices being introduced. In giving students the opportunity to understand these terms in an inquiry-based fashion, they are given ownership of the concepts and learn them deeply, on their own terms.

What are “rhetorical pyramids”…? A lovely pattern that prompts your students to condense their rhetorical analysis into several “triangles” — to be cut out, folded, and taped, forming an origami pyramid of analytical glory.
This is a fun little activity that promises to engage your kiddos while conducting some high level analyses. (Teaching middle school? This is perfect. Teaching AP? Your students will swoon over the prospect of pairing some arts and crafts with the rigorous rhetorical analysis that’s sure to follow.)

Brilliant rubrics for brilliant teachers. This bundle includes several iterations of both our analytical rubric and our argumentative writing rubric. Each iteration is specifically designed to serve a variety of specific purposes — ranging form grading speed to student input to skill mastery. Our rhetorical analysis rubric is distilled from CollegeBoard’s 9-point AP rubric, providing a meaningful way to give students feedback on analytical writing in any secondary English course. Whether you teach freshmen or AP seniors, you’ll wish you’d found these rubrics sooner!
Our rubrics are also designed to streamline the process of giving students an opportunity to modify the grading criteria — something that the vast majority of teacher-evaluation frameworks qualify as “highly effective.” Looking to bolster your next evaluation? Look no further.
In addition to the awesome rubrics, this bundle also includes TeachArgument’s RUBRIC CUBE — an activity that combines peer editing, revision, and reflection in a manner that promises to engage your students and to improve their writing. (To learn more about the RUBRIC CUBE, scroll down!)
