After finishing up our new vocab words - 2 or 3 depending on the hour - you were assigned the partner/small group rhetorical analysis presentation. In briefest terms, you selected one of ten letters or essays to complete a rhetorical analysis of purpose and strategy. With your partner or partners, you will construct a verbal essay - hook, thesis, strategy sections with analysis, evidence, & citations, conclusion - to share with your classmates. On Wednesday, you will be informally presenting your findings, in which you may use your notes and passage to assist your presentation. (As mentioned in class, you are not to type an essay and read verbatim.) As I strongly reminded you, all group members will need to participate and be here for the presentation. For our absentees, you will be in a partnership/group with other absentees. While you may not have today's class period to work on this, you will have almost the entire class period to do so tomorrow and Tuesday evening homework to finalize your preparations.
As stated in the previous post, if you missed the diagnostic prompt on Friday, you have 3 options to make up this prompt by the end of Tuesday: 1. study hall 2. after school on Tuesday 3. during class time on Tuesday. If you choose not to take the prompt during this time - or you have not contacted me with a request for an appointed time to do so - you will receive a zero on this assignment.
