Activity One: Rhetorical analysis self-assessment
- Annotate for the following in your in-class rhetorical analysis essay:
- Good things (G): Mark with stars places where you felt you made a good observation or wrote a strong phrase, sentence, or paragraph.
- Almost good (AG) things...Mark places where you might have made a decent observation but had trouble explaining it. These would be places in your essay that, with some additional experience or fine-tuning, you could improve upon.
- I wish I had noticed (write this at the bottom of your essay)...These are things that you did not even notice the first time, but after reading several examples of AP student essays, wish you had (or that you will in the future).
- Also, please fill out Self Assessment #1 and staple it to the front of your essay packet.

Activity 2: I-touch twist. Watch and listen to how this young poet uses language - words and body language - to convey an argument about technology and our relationship to it. When he is done, write down two lines which caught your attention and try to write one or two sentences which encapsulates what you believe he is saying. In other words, what is his argument? In essence, condense his poetic language to a thesis statement.
Activity three: Word rant. Share your thoughts on a word/phrase that you wrote about.
