Five quotes plus responses are due tomorrow.
I collected THE HEADS (OUR VERBAL-VISUAL ESSAYS).
Last day for these is tomorrow.
Today, we read the essay, "A Locker Room With A View" page 169 in your Patterns and Perspectives text.
I'll collect the five quotes and responses that correspond with your decorated "heads" tomorrow. Some students attached it to the head so you are fine.
For each essay, please complete the following info:
Title
Author
Thesis
Best piece of evidence (Is it a statistic, a scientific report, hearsay, anecdote, someone's opinion, ect)
Two literary techniques. Name them and give examples.
Post-it note a key passage that you really like. In your notebook, say why you like it.
Your notes will be collected and you may use your notes on the test (test will be in Jan.)
For tomorrow: Complete the above notes. Study for a quiz on the following terms:
1. allusion
2. empathy / sympathy
3. flashback
4. imply / suggest (indirectly show your point)
5. diction (choose words for effect "verbal brutalizing" or "insides of sandwiches" or the men "pad" around
6. hyperbole
7. direct quote (interview someone about your topic and quote them word for word)
8. irony
9. anecdote
10. Appeal to a higher authority (Use someone who knows a lot about your topic. Get them to agree with you or quote them from a source you find -- similar to preparing for a debate. You need to make your readers agree with you).
11. parallelism (Creates a chant-like effect and clarity in the writing : professional athletes and professional writers or piles of towels and cans of soda and later in the sentence, she says, "clusters of players and insides of sandwiches" Notice the way these phrases sound.
12. Use details. Details sell. What details do you remember from the essay? Why? They generally have an emotional or visual or auditory effect on you.
Why would an author not state her thesis directly when her audience disagrees with her point of view?
