In all classes, we began with vocab experts, adding 4 words to our vernacular. Our next 4 will be Monday. All classes also received the passage for our diagnostic prompt on Tuesday. You are to close read this passage in preparation for our first timed writing, which will commence at the bell and will be finalized by the next bell. Remember, this is a baseline essay to determine your strengths and weaknesses prior to your AP work, which will help aid your future compositions. If you were absent, you can pick up a copy Monday for preparation.
1: We started our review of argumentation and rhetoric by forming groups with a specific purpose to convince a specific audience utilizing strategies and examples. Adding to the work, our other groups had to identify what strategy(ies) and why they were being used - i.e. rhetorical analysis! We will finish up the group sharing on Monday. If you were absent, you will need to listen carefully on Monday and support your classmates.
3 & 4: Same as first hour regarding the group work. However, we did not make it to sharing the examples, which will wait until Monday. If you were absent, we will put you with an existing group. You also have "Theme for English B" to read and identify its purpose. We will do a class rhetorical analysis on this text on Monday, so don't go crazy with your work.
7: We made our way through the arguments and found that the ORDER that you place strategies matters a great deal in strengthening an argument and analyzing its importance. To continue with rhetorical strategy, we read "Theme for English B" and analyzed one rhetorical strategy to its fullest - and, wow, did your class come up with a strong purpose, development of strategy, and analysis of its meaning. We will find more strategies with this text next week, so make sure it comes back to room 404 with you.
