Today we will finish analyzing ETHOS, PATHOS, and LOGOS as they appear in a selection of advertisements.  We will next begin reading "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," working in pairs or small groups to annotate any imagery and/or figurative language as well as elements of persuasion.

OBJECTIVE:  Understand and analyze persuasion as it occurs in Jonathan Edwards's sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."

CCSS:  RI.11-12.5:  Analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of the structure an author uses in his or her argument.  RI.11-12.6:  Determine an author's point of view or purpose in a text in which the rhetoric is particularly effective.

Using this Prezi (http://prezi.com/zkylemq1zqi-/ethos-logos-and-pathos-understanding-argument/), we will be reviewing ethos, pathos, and logos.  We will take notes that we will use to analyze advertisements as well as Jonathan Edwards's "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."

Using this Prezi (http://prezi.com/vsiy7xdqy7qy/ethos-pathos-or-logos/) we will examine whether ethos, pathos or logos is being employed.  For each advertisement, make sure that you explain HOW and WHY the method is being used.

OBJECTIVE:  Today we will review the elements of persuasion and be able to use them in analyzing persuasive images, speeches, or videos.

CCSS:  RI.11-12.5:  Analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of the structure an author uses in his or her argument.  RI.11-12.6:  Determine an author's point of view or purpose in a text in which the rhetoric is particularly effective.

Today is the last day for background information before we begin Puritan Literature.  We will watch a video clip about Puritans in America as we take notes, and then we will discuss the implications for our next reading assignments.

OBJECTIVE:  We will learn the historical background in which Edwards's "Sinners" was set in order to perform a more thorough analysis of the types of persuasion being used.

CCSS: RI.11-12.8:  Evaluate the reasoning in seminal U.S. texts.  RI.11-12.9. Analyze seventeenth-, eighteenth-, and nineteenth-century foundational U.S. documents historical and literary significance.

After finishing our vocabulary for bellwork, we will then return to our Puritan Literature Prezi (http://prezi.com/hclkrbofbyns/puritan-literature/).  With the background information that we are learning, we are preparing to read and analyze several works of Puritan literature, starting with Jonathan Edward's sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."

Today we will take the Vocabulary Unit #6 Quiz.  When you finish your quiz, you will begin Vocabulary Unit #7.

First on today's agenda is to finish our Native American Literature Exam.  If you have already completed this, you may work on vocabulary or study for your quiz tomorrow.

When everyone has finished their exams, we will then begin our study of Puritan Literature by taking notes and watching a Prezi Miss Lamb has prepared for us (found here:  http://prezi.com/hclkrbofbyns/puritan-literature/). 

Today we will be taking our Native American Literature Exam.  Be ready to compare and contrast various film clips as well as pieces of literature.  Look over the study guide that was handed out to you earlier this week.

After we have a quick discussion over today's bellwork, we will quickly write a summary of the Native American memoir excerpt that we read. 

OBJECTIVE:  Summarize your Native American memoir so Miss Lamb can check your understanding.

CCSS:  Reading Literature 2. Provide an objective summary of the text.


Next we will get into our groups and discuss the excerpts.  You should appoint one person to be the GROUP FACILITATOR, who will guide the questioning and discussion point of your conversation and one person as a NOTE-TAKER, who will keep track of what your group talks about.  You will be specifically looking for instances of the following:
+Has the character encountered stereotyping?  If so when and what happened?  How did he or she deal with it?
+Do you see any evidence of a "single story" In this piece?  If so, when and how?
+Does this piece challenge any previous notions of "single stories" that you may have?  Why and how?
+What did you like about this excerpt?  Would you want to read the rest of the piece of literature?

OBJECTIVE:  Participate in a productive group discussion over the Native American memoir excerpts you read.

CCSS:  Speaking & Literature. SL11-12.1  Initiate and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions with diverse partners.

Finally, we will go over the study guide that Miss Lamb has created for your Native American Literature Exam that we will take tomorrow!

Today we will go to the computer lab in I building to type our "How I Learned to Read Memoir" using Sherman Alexie's essay "Superman and Me."  It is due tomorrow when you come into class.  Also due tomorrow is the reading of your Native American memoir excerpt.
