All classes today revolved around the transition from the past (2018 rhetorical analysis) to the present (2019 MC, tone, modes of discourse, argumentation, synthesis).
After copying down Unit 16 vocab (which starts next class and which you may have noticed had a bit of a theme from the vocab writers), you completed topic cards for our creative tone paragraphs tomorrow. What are tone paragraphs? Wait and see! We will have a whole process to practice our writing and learn all those tone words from that "big kids" handout. Wrapping up the hour, we spent some quality time with the rhetorical analysis prompt from the final - looking at the big 3 items needed to score well (that magic "big ticket" strategy, that attitude, and that audience - all of which were included in the prompt).
For next class, you will need to know your rhetorical strategies and their definitions so that we can interact with the toolbox portion of the final. After the finals and arguments are returned, portfolioed (that's not a verb - oops), and put in 2018, the 2019 world arrives with our vocab experts, multiple choice strategies and passages, tone paragraphs, modes of discourse, and allusions!
