How have Broadsides Used Language To Impact American Society?

<p>Working with two others, select three broadsides from this collection and closely read each text. Once you have selected your broadsides, create your own gallery and add your analysis on the tabs. At least two broadsides should be heavily text-dependent. Identify the diction, syntax and pathos within the language, as well as the subject, occasion, audience, purpose and speaker. Discuss how the language supports the rhetoric and how the broadside may have impacted American society. Use the info tab to help you research the historical context to share with the class. You will present your analysis as a group starting Wednesday, November 30th through the rest of the week. </p>
