Identify anaphora in mentor speeches (King 'I have a dream that...'; Nakate 'I speak for...'; Lincoln 'we cannot...'). Construct anaphoric sequences of 3+ repetitions in own writing. Recognize the climactic effect when the pattern breaks. Apply for emotional/logical accumulation in argumentative writing.

Common misconceptions

Confuses anaphora with simple word repetition anywhere in a sentence (the rule: repetition at the START of successive clauses/sentences).
Uses too few repetitions (2 instead of 3+) so the pattern doesn't register as anaphora.
