Staking Your Claim Assessment
Step 1: Ensure you have a full understanding of the topic of your paper and choose a side of the
argument for your claim.
Prompt:
After analyzing Abraham Lincoln's "House Divided" and Patrick
Henry's "Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death", determine and
defend which speech is more effective due to the use of figurative
language, rhetorical appeals and rhetorical devices. Provide textual
evidence from both speeches to strengthen your argument.
Step 2: Read both speeches thoroughly to gain an understanding of how both Lincoln and Henry
employed various appeals and devices. It is strongly recommended that you annotate
each speech so you can see them side by side.
Step 3: Write an introduction paragraph that includes a hook, bridging statement, and claim
below.
Freedom is good, slavery is bad, death happens. Both “Give Me Liberty, or Give Me
Death”and “A House Divided” use rhetorical appeals, rhetorical devices, and figurative
language. These speeches were given approximately eighty years apart by Patrick
Henry and Abraham Lincoln. Henry’s speech is more effective due to his use of
figurative language
Step 4: Outline the body paragraphs and conclusion of your essay.
Body Paragraph:
I. Strongest Reason I. Henry’s speech is more effective than Lincoln’s because
A. Evidence he uses a stronger emotional appeal.
