October 16 - 20

Welcome!  Here's what's on the agenda for the week:

MONDAY/TUESDAY: Journal warm-up.  Go over the prompts and class annotations. Discuss outline styles.  Cumulative sentences: definition, activity.

Due
1. Read and annotate 3 rhetorical analysis prompts.  Think about which one you would like to use to write into a full, take-home essay.

2. Please read 10 pages of your independent reading book.

3. Please leave warm-up journals in the bin - 2nd and 6th periods.

Homework: For Wednesday or Thursday: 

Complete outline for one of the three rhetorical analysis prompts.  You may use phrases instead of full sentences, but please do write it on a separate piece of paper in outline format.

WEDNESDAY (4th and 6th periods): Journal warm-up.  Collect outlines.  Current event day: read and annotate articles from multiple perspectives, discuss and debate, outline, and vote.

Due: Outlines, (4th period only - journals).

Homework: Study for quiz.

THURSDAY/FRIDAY: Journal warm-up. Vocab quiz covering grammar, vocabulary from list #5. Go over outlines in class on projector, receive them back.  Read class example of a full rhetorical analysis essay.  Figurative language challenge.

Due: (For 2nd period only - outline.)

Homework: Type up a rough draft of the rhetorical analysis essay, and make sure you can access it electronically for next class (or have a paper copy with you).  You could upload it to a Google drive, or e-mail it to yourself, for example. The essay should be in full sentences, but it is still a rough draft.

Please get a copy of A Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and bring it to class next week.  It's available on Amazon for $3, I can sell you a copy in class, or I'm happy to provide a copy if you're not able to purchase it, please let me know.
