*Bell Ringer:
The Individual and
Society: In
writer’s notebook, write a quick list of ways that an individual can interact
with society. Think of these ideas: can individuals change society? Can society
change individuals? Can you exist without society? Can society exist without
individuals? Are there different definitions of society that matter here?
*Patrick Henry Speech –I’d highlight
in three or four different colors, if possible (HOMEWORK)
*Three
rhetorical questions and the assumed answers from the speech. Why include these questions? “Is this the
part of wise men…” he wants listeners to think that, no, wise men search for
freedom with open eyes, seeing truth.
*Allusion: find
another mention of a literary/historical/biblical event. Any thoughts as to why it would be included?
Take a guess…
*How does this
fit in the topic (the individual and society)?
*How do you see
themes of independence or freedom in this speech? (Themes of the era)
*Writer’s
Workshop:
*Work on
revising for craft comments
*Issues noticed:
Introduction information (fluency through intro, leading to thesis), unity when
supporting thesis (topic sentences), depth of analysis (keeping analysis tied to topic sentences and
thesis)
*I’ll be reading
through for editing tonight
