🎤 The Art of Persuasion
Students read an original article featuring rhetoric coach Dr. Rafaela Torres, who reveals the three core techniques of persuasive speakers: emotional anchoring, repetition with variation, and grammatical inversion. Inverted structures (never have I, not only does, rarely does, little did) are embedded naturally throughout the text. The interactive game challenges students to convert normal sentences into inverted forms, while the writing task asks them to craft a persuasive paragraph using at least three inversions.
