Today was the second day in class where we went over the Reverse SOAPSTone as a class. Each student had to pick a person or thing as the speaker and the pick another person or thing that they are speaking to, with their purpose. Each student had to use four different literary devices to include in these speeches. There are four different rows with literary devices included on Mr. Rivers' slideshow. Each student had to pick one literary device from each of the four columns, leaving them with four different literary devices.

I chose the left side of the brain critiquing the right side of the brain. My speech was : Oh right side of the brain, I am so much better than you are. I’m better than you in school which is all that really matters. It’s all about logic, learning, and literacy. You can only draw pretty pictures and that’s all. Very rarely will imagination and creativity get you somewhere in life. I help people get through school, to get to college, and to start a career. I help people live their life better than you can.  To succeed you need logic, to learn you need logic, and to get through the rest of your life you need logic. People rely on me more and I never fail them.
I included alliteration, anaphora, personification, and anadiplosis.

This can help writers include different devices in any kind of speech. Also, it creates new ideas of different writing styles. Lastly, this helps students find different literary devices that are in different types of writings.
