September 16 - 20

Welcome back!

This week, we'll continue with Frederick Douglass and notes about the various rhetorical strategies he employs, as well as an in depth look at logos, ethos, and pathos and how to write about these appeals in essays.

We took some time last week to sign up for various online support systems: turnitin.com, Naviance, and the College Board website where you'll need to sign up for the AP Lang exam by November 4. Please take the second step and go to the Total Registration website to pay for the exam as soon as possible. As I mentioned in class, if payment is an issue in any way, please e-mail or see Ms. Hafer or myself so we can help out.


MONDAY: Journal warm-up. Logos, ethos, pathos notes, identifying "what + how," video examples, whole class response. Skits/dialogues - student group practice.

Reading in AP Rhetorical Analysis Packet, pages 3-8.

Homework: Read Frederick Douglass, Chapters 6-7. Look for figurative language (similes, metaphors, personification) in particular.

Study for the Vocab quiz for Friday.

FRIDAY: Journal warm-up. Quiz covering Vocab #2, grammar, and Frederick Douglass reading. Current event: read and annotate at least two viewpoints about a given topic. Discuss and debate, vote. Outline the majority opinion in a synthesis/ACT-style outline response based on the discussion.

Homework: Read and annotate pages 15 - 20 in the Rhetorical Analysis Packet (the "Culminating Activity") and write out a SOAPS analysis for the 3 articles in your packet in the margins.

Make sure you can get into the College Board website to sign up for the AP exam, and then pay through the Total Registration website.
