I hope everyone enjoyed the three-day weekend. I got a chance to read
your "Day in the Life" papers, and I appreciated all of the creativity
and effort that many of you put into them.
During this short week, we'll review logos, pathos and ethos combined, and begin a Politics/Social Justice unit that will cover the next 4-6 weeks. This unit will consist of The Grapes of Wrath, Narrative of Frederick Douglass, short stories by Hawthorne, and shorter passages from a variety of authors, including fiction and nonfiction. During this unit, we will expand our knowledge of rhetorical terms and write rhetorical analysis essays.
TUESDAY: Grapes of Wrath quiz on Tuesday. Share examples from Rhetorical term packets. Visual Analysis Worksheet with Migrant Mother photograph and other examples. Due: Rhetorical term example packets.
