This week, we'll write our second rhetorical analysis essay. It will be timed and completed in one session, handwritten, to prep you for the actual exam in May, but you will have a full hour and access to your entire English notebook with handouts and your own notes. If you're not happy with your final score, you will also have the opportunity to rewrite it and I'll average the scores.
TUESDAY: Journal warm-up. Go over Grapes reading. Review steps to writing a rhetorical analysis essay. Write an in-class rhetorical analysis essay prompt. You'll have one full hour to complete it, and will have access to your notes from this year.
Due: Please finish Chapter 13 and 14. While reading the powerful and intense Chapter 14, identify at least 2 rhetorical strategies Steinbeck uses to forward his overall argument.
