Audience

All of Vocab Unit 12 is complete. That means review and quiz will be next week.

In more creative endeavors, we spent the day precipitating in a purpose/audience exercise involving our school's cell phone policy. Plus, we had the extra Project Runway twist of incorporating malapropisms, zeugma, and anadiplosis. The best ways to write for an audience, especially one as specific as a peer, a teacher, Mr. Sutton, or a parent, reflect attention to diction, syntax, and selection of examples. Example selection requires an engagement of the audience.

Tuesday will be the "big surprise" reveal. Make sure you have paper and a pen/pencil. I recommend you bring a pencil and your intensity for our first post-Labor Day class.

*Notice the examples of rhetorical strategies above? The malapropism was borrowed from Justin!
