Rhetorical Comparisons Project

You will be analyzing all of the songs that you have heard the past 3 days and completing a 2-part project.
1. You are looking for similarities in subject, tone and rhetoric. You are to create a chart, bubble map, double bubble map, circle map, etc., illustrating their similar themes. And noting their themes clearly.
2. You will then choose a lyric (phrase or line) from each song and create your own piece of literature. One line must be taken from each song to create an original piece of literature. Your new piece must have an original message with rhetorical strategies built in. This part must be typed.
Due: Tuesday February, 8th. (rain or shine)
