It's Thanksgiving week, and we're just finishing Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass as well as our rhetorical analysis writing unit.
MONDAY/TUESDAY: Journal warm-up. Discuss the ending of Frederick
Douglass. Overview of the process of writing a rhetorical analysis
essay. Write a rhetorical analysis essay analyzing Douglass' argument
against slavery.
Note: you'll have just over an hour to write out the essay and it
will be due at the end of the class. It's an in-class essay, but open
note and open book. Rough outlines and notes are fine; please do not
write out an entire essay that you bring with you and simply copy,
either in notes or written in the book. You'll turn in any notes along
with your essay, and show me the book (if used) as you turn it in. I'm
asking that the essay be written in class so that you get practice with
supports first and you're confident when you're writing the SAT and/or
ACT essays.
Due: Please finish Chapter 11 of Frederick Douglass (finish the book). Please be sure to bring your book , notes, and/or annotations to class with you.
Homework: Please read and annotate these three articles about content warnings for school books for November 20/November 21 (the first class after Thanksgiving). Come to class with annotations and opinions and be ready to discuss.
WEDNESDAY: (5th period only) Journal warm-up - think, pair, share: getting to know classmates with personal anecdotes. Six word story creative exercise in groups with themes.

Homework: (Same as Monday/Tuesday) Please read and annotate these three articles about content warnings for school books
