The Rhetorical World Continues

In all hours, we resumed vocab experts with 4 more words, which means a total of 19 in your dossier for this class. No matter what stage your class is in, the prompts and how to analyze, write, and make verbs more active and mature ruled the agenda today. If you need further reminders and refreshers regarding writing, head to this previous blog post with the links at the bottom: http://fznaplang.blogspot.com/2016/08/ap-lang-tips-for-better-writing-now.html.

1: We finished up the notes regarding rhetorical analysis, you received your essays, filled out your goal sheets, had time to craft your maximum 3 questions for our paper meetings, and prepared for next week's individual meetings, verb exercises (highlighting all verbs and then replacing with stronger choices), and rhetorical toolbox work.

3: We had a chance to review The Outliers passage for its plethora of rhetorical devices. Who knew there could be so many hiding in there? I suppose Malcolm Gladwell since he is the author and the subject of our rhetorical analysis. We will be finishing up writing tips and then moving into paper meetings next week.

4: After finishing up the tips and reminders for rhetorical analysis, you received your prompts back - for a very short time! So during next week's classes, you will have a lot more time to inspect your work and prepare for future prompts.

7: Your prompts are back, and we are currently in meeting mode. Meanwhile, you are decorating your portfolio, working on verb revisions, and studying your toolbox in preparation. We're a small class, so we will be moving through the meeting process fairly quickly.
