Click on the link for the instructor narrated PowerPoint-describing all that is involved. Note: This project is assigned in a College-Freshman-HONORS-Class. I would also like you to "Click-On" the other links so that you realize what is involved in a rhetorical analysis of an AD. Certainly, I would provide you with additional information and assistance during 371/2 minute tutorial.
Essential Question: What is the relationship of the individual to the community? You visited Chapter 6: Community, when we read MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail. For your assignment due, Wednesday, 27 October, you will read Chapter 2 from Thoreau's Walden-"Where I Lived and What I Lived For" (pages 276-283-in your textbook-that you will bring everyday until I tell you not to bring the textbook to class). We will make "connections" to Into the Wild-as you read Thoreau's text-think about Christopher...

On Wednesday, 27 October, you will turn-in your responses to Questions on Rhetoric and Style-1-12-pages 281-282. THIS SHOULD BE WORD-PROCESSED-LEAVE A SPACE AFTER EACH RESPONSE. As with any assignment, if you are absent-you must email it to me on the day it is due! I will NOT accept any excuses written by a parent.
Prior to our discussion of Thoreau's text (from Walden), you will complete a multiple choice "practice" quiz.
On Thursday, 28 October, you will turn-in the your responses to Exercises 1, 2, 3, and 5 on pages 343-345. I recommend that you FIRST read pages 339-342-Grammar as Rhetoric and Style- in your textbook. You may "hand-write" this activity. You must skip a space after each response-if you fail to comply to this directive-I will not grade your work!
