Look up the following AP Terms/rhetorical devices.  Write the term and the definition in your binder (to be collected).  Also include at least one example for each AP Term/rhetorical device. You may search the Internet for examples. Then explain why/how you think particular examples are effective (concentrate on the meaning of the words themselves). Highlighting, labeling, and numbering (overall clearly and neatly written items) are necessary.
