Rhetoric in action! Today's class focused almost solely on a rhetorical analysis of Obama's speech and Harper's short announcement of the death of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. I thought that was a great class discussion, and I appreciate all the insightful contributions. Thanks.
For homework, I asked you to please write the synthesis essay (only a draft / 40 minute attempt) in response to the question in Chapter 3, for which you have prepared your outline. The question and sources appear on page 74. The question is whether or not high schools should make community service mandatory.
Megan, Michelle, and Taylor, you may hand this assignment in later, as you are writing AP calculus on Wednesday. Study your calculus!
Note: I just found this website called the Grumpy Grammarian - remind you of someone? Anyway, the latest post is entirely timely and appropriate for you to read. Take five minutes - it's great!
Must go think about my democratic responsibilities ...
