Literary Devices: Rhetorical Question Stems

(0)
A collection of rhetorical question sentence starters to be used as a handout or poster. These sentence stems provide scaffolding to help pupils write rhetorical questions. A rhetorical question is a question asked in order to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer. It is a literary device often used to persuade the audience. This vocabulary bank is particularly useful for planning and completing persuasive writing texts, such as adverts, debates, speeches and persuasive letters. Rhetorical questions can also be found in other text types such as instructions, diaries and stories. This document contains examples of rhetorical question sentence stems. The rhetorical question stem list can be used to help to understand this literary device, to identify rhetorical questions within texts and to use rhetorical questions in writing.
