Choose to annotate through Kami or Google Docs.
You will need 3 colors (highlighters are fine or colored pens) + an annotation tool
Color 1: Rhetorical StrategiesHow does the author convey his ideas/beliefs using rhetorical strategies (ethos, logos, pathos, kairos; imagery, audience, purpose). Identify and label as you read. Identify the recurring theme in this speech. What idea/belief is he trying to promote? Who is the audience?
Color 2: Syntax (sentence structure)Note instances of anaphora, balanced sentences, parallelism, juxtaposition
Color 3 Diction (word choice)Pay attention to the denotation and connotation of the jargon which he employs. Does he include colloquialisms, loaded language, or slang? What is his purpose behind his syntax and diction?
