Persuasive language in famous speeches

WALT: identify persuasive language in a text

This lesson was part of a series of lessons about persuasive language. Here we are using a famous speech by Leonardo diCaprio, and analyzing it for persuasive langauge features.

The purpose of this lesson was for students to identify and understand the effect of persuasive language in speeches. I thought that watching a speech would be a more engaging way to learn about persuasive language.
