Toning to Pathos

We are less than 4 weeks away from the Lucy Logs due date. Make sure you are completing this assignment and not procrastinating!

1: We are almost caught up to the other classes as a result of finishing "To a Skylark" and "Ode to a Nightingale," and you received the tone prompt, which as is follows: In regards to Percy Shelley's "To a Skylark" and John Keats' "Ode to a Nightingale," compare and contrast the tone and other rhetorical strategies used by these poets in their writing about birds. This is a 48 hour prompt akin to the Keats' prompt of old. You may hand write or type the hard copy essay, which will need to be in my possession by 3:30 p.m. on Friday. If absent for the entirety of the day, you are required to share, e-mail, or photograph the essay and then turn in a hard copy when returning to school. We will go over the RC and MC tone maps tomorrow, return to vocab, and work with pathos in preparation for your group project. We are busy, busy, busy!

3 & 4: In exciting news, it looks like the projector is working. Did I just create a jinx? After copying down unit 15 vocab for tomorrow's resumption of vocab experts, we spent quality time on the floor looking at pictures and advertisements to check out pathos-based reactions and finding out about the group project - a pathos-driven presentation on one of the 5 topics. If you were absent, you will find out your group tomorrow. Otherwise, the groups can begin dividing up tasks and brainstorming ideas in preparation for tomorrow's class. Prep days (after vocab and a pathos activity) will be November 9, 10, and 13. Presentations will occur on November 14 and 15/16.

7: Check out first hour's agenda for information regarding the tone prompt on "To a Skylark" and "Ode to a Nightingale." You have the same deadline, Friday at 3:30 p.m. for this 48 hour prompt. To finish up the hour, you copied down Unit 15 vocab in preparation for tomorrow's class, and we reviewed a little logos, ethos, pathos to prep for the remainder of this week's classes.
