Tuesday, Nov. 5 Agenda


  • Bell Ringer: The Individual and Society section: 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? 
  • First Post: What is your book? Why did you pick it? Who are you reading with (if you are)? What are you looking forward to in this project? What are you apprehensive about? What are you going to do to ensure your success? –due Thursday
    • (150 words, why you are reading that book, at least one image) 
  • Writer’s Workshop Time –see next slide
    • MLA Format (reminders shared through Google Classroom)
    • Confer, peer editing/revising, Turnitin (ways to work on draft with help)
    • Paper with rubric (standard based/single point) due tomorrow after 30 min
  • Patrick Henry Speech –I’d highlight in three or four different colors, if possible {DUE Thursday}
    • Three rhetorical questions and the assumed answers from the speech.  Why include these questions? EX: “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)“Speech in the Virginia Convention”
