September 18 - 22

This is an important week (am I saying that every week?!) for our rhetorical analysis unit.  We will add three extremely helpful rhetorical devices to your list, as well as defining a counterargument.  I'm looking forward to the examples that students generate in class this week.

MONDAY/TUESDAY: Journal warm-up.  Collect imagery examples and share them with the class.  Go over SOAPS of Beyoncé speech.  Notes: logos, ethos, pathos - definitions and what each does for an argument.  Read examples of each.  Watch video examples and try to identify them as a class.

Due: Write a SOAPS analysis on a piece of paper for next class for Beyoncé's speech about Hurricane Harvey at Houston's St. John's Church.  Please come to class with one example of one or more of the five types of imagery from your outside life.
Homework: For Thursday/Friday
Please read and annotate page 7 of the Rhetorical Analysis packet.  Note where Morrison uses logos, ethos, and pathos in her effort to persuade voters.  Is this an effective letter in your opinion?

WEDNESDAY: (5th only) Journal warm-up.  Current event day.  Should schools use cameras for security or not?  Read and/or view different perspectives, "stakeholder" style discussion and debate, vote. 
 
Due: n/a

Homework: For Friday - Please read and annotate page 7 of the Rhetorical Analysis packet.  Note where Morrison uses logos, ethos, and pathos in her effort to persuade voters.  Is this an effective letter in your opinion?

THURSDAY/FRIDAY: Journal warm-up.  Quiz covering Vocabulary sheet #2, grammar, and logos, ethos, pathos.  Receive Vocab #3 and 4.  Review Morrison's letter, noting what each instance of logos, ethos, and pathos does for her argument.
