Learning Target - I will continue to create a foundation for rhetorical awareness as a reader and writer.

Bellringer: Read the activity at the bottom of page 23 in The Language of Composition...Label the journal entry as follows August 25, 2014, Reading Images (p 22 of LOC) Then write a well developed paragraph (7-11 sentences) which answers the questions at the bottom of the page. (5 minutes)

Pair and share discussion

On pages 36-38, we have a list of rhetorical terms from this chapter.  One term is polemic.  Review that definition and then look back to the image at the top of page 25.  Do you think that image/advertisement is a polemic?  Why or why not? (4-6 sentences)

Pages 36-38 contains a Glossary of Rhetorical Terms.  One term is persona. In your own words, describe the persona of the character in your memoir.  In other words, describe the self, or personality, that they put across in their memoir.  Find and copy down one paragraph which captures their personality.

Homework: Study the terms on pages 36-38.  We will have a 10 point (multiple choice or matching) quiz tomorrow on those terms. Also, read pp. 38-48 in the LOC.
