1: First hour was all about the meetings for you essay with a dash of vocabulary thrown in during the last five minutes. Tomorrow, we will be back in the work of rhetorical analysis, so I would advise reviewing your toolbox to help prepare you.
3: After vocab today, we looked (well, listened) at passages from The Outliers to indicate the various types of strategies and the author's purpose in using these to establish an understanding with the audience. As noted in class, a pattern began to develop throughout the passages, which exhibits how you can pull a strategy from across a text. To finish up the hour, we started reading about Julie, better known by the epithet Superstar, and how the author introduces us to her via multiple ways. Notice I'm dodging the specificity as to not influence other classes who will be reading the text tomorrow. For homework, you will need to finish reading the Julie section and note how she is continued to be introduced and what strategies you are noting. If absent, here are the opening pages from Amazon (click on "Look Inside" for the text); make sure you read the Julie section and no further: https://www.amazon.com/Overachievers-Secret-Lives-Driven-Kids/dp/140130902X
4: Ditto for above, but you will also have the task of analyzing either the Audrey or the AP Frank passage for how each person is introduced and what strategies the author decides to use for that particular section. If you were absent, choose either Audrey or the AP Frank sections to analyze for class. The link above will take you to the beginning of the text.
7: Read the third hour synopsis for our agenda and homework today. In addition, it looks like we still have take vocab quiz 1 - those pesky meetings distracted us (me) from giving that to you on Friday. As a result, we will take the vocab quiz tomorrow.
