Aural Project

Using Power Point Audio to Enhance
Jonathan Edwards'
Rhetorical Choices

Audio Description:  Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is a powerful sermon, meant to be read aloud. Due to its power, I will use it at the beginning of the year, highlighting and helping students analyze the choices of specific rhetorical devices Edwards employed. This PowerPoint, which I turned into a Windows Media Video for viewing on Google Blog, is meant to make powerful audio access easier for students to revisit. As students jigsaw to do collaborative work, this video allows them to go back my original classroom reading as many times as they need, paying close attention to the sound of his words.
