If you are one of those band kids travelling this weekend, you will need to stop by room 404 on Thursday to pick up your work. You are expected to have your work completed for Monday's class.
1 & 3: For my classes of 2 and 5, we reviewed vocabulary, rhetorical strategies, and modes of discourse on the buzzers. For homework, you are to watch the debates and write down 5 tones that you hear with evidence. We will do comparative tone analysis on Friday after your vocab quiz. I'm feeling vituperative will be one of those tones tonight.
7: Hello, my tone warriors. After starting vocab 15 today, we spent the hour on tone by reading sentences with different tones, constructing conversations using umbrella tone words, checking out the big kid tone word list -- jingoistic! -- and sharing examples, reading "Chicago" by Sandburg, and learning how to complete a tone map. (Something like identifying tone shifts, selecting a tone for each section of the poem, picking two words to create a range, plotting the tone words on a map, and then analyzing the patterns and why the author uses these tone shifts.)
You have a few items to do:
1. Watch the debate - live, online, newscast highlights - and write down 5 tones that you hear. For each tone, have an example as evidence.
2. The Keats diction prompt deadline is tomorrow, Thursday, at 2:40 p.m. Remember, this can be typed or handwritten and must be in hard copy format. If you are at school for even 1 second tomorrow, you will still need to turn in a hard copy. If you are absent all day, then you will need to e-mail/share/photograph the essay and then bring a hard copy the next day. Do not forget to turn this in! It is your first major grade of second quarter.
