Lesson outcome

I can understand and emulate how opinion writers use rhetorical questions for effect.

Show transcript
Rhetorical questions engage the reader by encouraging them to consider their own opinions. They are structured in the same way as a normal question. They can be answered by the writer or left unanswered - both create different effects. They can be combined with direct address to effectively grab the reader’s attention.
