Quick Intro to me and the course...
SNC, NU, daughter starting college, former environmental scientist, 7 years of experience teaching AP rhetoric
The purpose of this course is “to enable students to read complex texts with understanding and to write prose of sufficient richness and complexity to communicate effectively with mature readers” (College Board, AP English Course Description, 2010, p. 7).
By the way, this site is linked to my LT website and the web address is http://wesley4ap.blogspot.com/ (Make sure you are on the correct website! My 3AP and 4AP websites have similar content during the first few weeks of school as a I do an intro to rhetoric unit with both courses).

With a partner I will assign now, do activity 1 on page 2…one of you should find a deceptive piece of rhetoric and one should find one that is civil or effective. Bring a hard copy or something that you can electronically access on your phone or by sending me a link if necessary
Discuss with one another why one these texts was deceptive and manipulative and why the other was effective and simple.
