Bellringer: August 26, 2014: The Persona of Your Memoir Writer: The persona of a writer or speaker is the face or self that a speaker shows to his audience. It is essentially the personality that a person shows to others. To quote our text, Lou Gherig is a famous baseball hero, but in his speech he presents himself as a common man who is modest and thankful for the opportunities he has. After having read a memoir, you should be intimately familiar with the author. Here is today's challenge...Choose three adjectives to describe your author's persona (e.g., emotional, wise, honest) and then for each term, write a two to three sentences explaining why you chose that word to describe their persona in your memoir.
- Pair and share...Find someone else who has read the same book as you and compare your impressions of the author's persona.
- Take rhetorical terms quiz
- Winston Churchill: The New Administration (aka. Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat) from the 3 minute mark on Winston Churchill's New Administration speech
Homework: Read 49-59 of LOC
