Objective: Learn the structure and format of a position paper and begin researching.
Here are the Slides from today. It will be helpful to review.
If you are absent, there are a ton of documents that are posted in the Classroom for JMUN today. We can review everything upon your return.
Most importantly, you should at this point have the first agenda topic you want to write about.
Periods 3 and 4:
Objective: Collaborative analyze a section of Beatty's speech for rhetoric and literary devices.
You will all be writing to respond to the following prompt tomorrow.
Write a well-developed response in which you analyze the persuasive techniques used by Captain Beatty to convey his attitude toward society and convince Montag of his position.
An effective rhetorical analysis:
- Accurately identifies the literary devices (metaphor, simile, imagery, symbolism, personification, etc.), rhetorical devices (repetition, rhetorical questions, anaphora, parallelism, etc.), rhetorical appeals (emotion, logic, credibility), and powerful diction (word choice) used by Captain Beatty.
- Explains how Beatty uses the techniques
- Provides examples of each technique (evidence)
- Explains what makes each technique appropriate/effective for the audience
- Concludes by connecting back to the overall purpose of the speech
Today, you were assigned one of six parts of Beatty's speech. With a group, you analyzed the section considering the literary devices and rhetorical appeals used by Beatty.
In addition, you were asked to consider two new literary terms:
anaphora - a deliberate repetition of specific words or phrases.
parallelism - Repetition of components of a sentence that are alike in sound or meaning
We have just begun to share out the sections, but here are my notes on what people said.
Tomorrow, you will be working together to write a collaborative response to the prompt above.
Period 6:
