Competition, Tone, & Evaluation

At some point, all AP classes will be on the same agenda, but that will not happen today...

1 & 2: We finished our rhetorical strategy competition and these are the rhetorical strategies/devices/terms that caused some struggle: synecdoche, metonymy, symploce, active/passive voice. In case you would like to learn more about these terms, here are a few links with definitions, examples, and activities.

If you were absent, we completed the Unit 14 vocab quiz, which will need to be made up by Tuesday prior to the grading deadline. I also passed out 3 tone handouts to help you with our tone week, which starts next week.

4 & 7: Our class focused on anonymous peer review of your Keats essay. The final draft deadline is Monday @ 2:45 p.m. The final draft may be handwritten or typed. If you are absent, this must be turned in digitally or it will be considered late.
