"You Can't Say a Benevolent Sandwich"

After vocab experts today, you had your first rhetorical toolbox quiz - nine passages to identify as rhetorical strategies. If you were absent today, you will need to take this quiz or schedule a time to take this quiz in the next 48 hours. The quiz can only be made up before and after school and will take 10 minutes. For those at camp this week, the quiz will need to be made up or schedules as soon as you return. At the end, we had a chance to finish up the close read of the Banneker prompt - and learn that "you can't say a benevolent sandwich" to Thomas Jefferson! (Thanks for the clever example, Jalen!) Then, you found out the actual scoring of the rangefinders and worked with partners to analyze why those essays scored as such. As mentioned in class, the 2010 prompt did not focus on citations for evaluations. However, as part of the class of 2017, citations are definitely needed to help indicate your evidence's location. Remember, you don't want you reader to do extra work!
