I'm excited about the progress we're making with rhetorical analysis, and this week we'll be just about finished with the Rhetorical Analysis packet.
MONDAY/TUESDAY: Journal warm-up. Notes: counterargument, diction, denotation, connotation. Read Waters sample from Rhetorical Analysis Packet in class and note her use of the counterargument. Connotation/denotation worksheet in class. Finish skits/vocab story rounds.
Due:
1. Completed Rhetorical Analysis Assignment for President Carter's passage.
2. Another 20 pages of your independent reading book read (up to about page 85).
Homework: For Thursday/Friday -
1. Read and annotate two arguments, articles for and against Colin Kaepernick's anthem protest, carefully noting all rhetorical devices and the types of evidence and examples we've talked about so far in class:
Insulting Colin Kaepernick Says More About Our Patriotism Than His by Kareem Abdul-Jabaar
Kaepernick Has a Right, but He's Still Wrong by John Kushma
(For those students unfamiliar with the topic, I have a general article here.)
2. Perform a SOAPS analysis on each, right next to the article.
3. Then, take out a separate piece of paper. Choose ONE of the articles (your choice). Write an OUTLINE (not the whole essay) of how you would respond to the following prompt:
