G10 Test Tip

Also, for the sake of fairness, here is the answer to the question I gave another student earlier via e-mail:- 

Hi Mystery G10 Student,

For each of the fifteen RDs, you simply write a sentence that clearly demonstrates that RD. You don't have to write the definition.

For example: Allusion - As a fat boy with glasses said, "Life is scientific."

I hope this explains it clearly. If not, you should have listening closer in class last year.

Have a good evening,

Mr. Johnson

G10 - Rhetorical Devices Test on Friday

This Friday, we will have a test on the rhetorical devices we looked at a couple of weeks ago. Isn't that a good idea?

On the test, I will list fifteen of the devices. You will then write a sentence (or two) that shows the aforementioned device in action. It has to clearly show you understand the device, so don’t try to be too subtle – it may go over my head.
