We're all in some phase of pathos now! What is to come after our review of the three rhetorical appeals? We will have a brief unit on fallacies (can't skip my fav slippery slope), start on argumentation (what you have all been waiting for), and begin work on MC passages (it's all about close reading - can't escape it). Oh, and of course, you have your Lucy Grealy readings and logs, which are still due on Thursday, December 6. Not many people have traded for their second text, so hopefully you are keeping up your reading and log pacing in order to trade tomorrow or immediately following your second long break of the month.
1: We wrapped up our tone work - effusively - with looking at "Ode on a Grecian Urn," which means that your tone prompt deadline is Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. The previous blog had the exact prompt and rules and regulations - in case you forget any details. In the middle of class, you received your Keats prompts back and, as the average score jumped up over 2 points into the 5 range! As we move into less participation and more content evaluation, this is a promising move! At the end of class, we looked at advertisements and how these images create varying forms of pathos and purposes. Tomorrow will be more pathos and the introduction of the rhetorical appeals group project.
3: We have our topics and we have our first day of group prep!
5: We have our last day of group prep, which means the order of presentation was determined during class. As a reminder to all groups, make sure that all of you are prepared to go!
