Today’s Activity!!
Diffuse the text from the following article:
“Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read”
http://www.ala.org/bbooks/bannedbooksweek
Pick a summary strategy to use as you read the text. Identify the central idea (main idea) of the text.
Identify the persuasive appeals in the article.
Next….
Let’s revisit the First Amendment of the Constitution from the beginning of the year. What connections can you make between the Constitution and “Banned Books Week”?
(Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.)
Why are books an important part of our society? Which values do they symbolize?
What is implied by the author’s comment “danger that exists when restraints are imposed”? How does this connect to American values?
Create your own persuasive appeal for this topic. What type of appeal will you use? How will it be effective?
Next week key elements of argumentation:
Purpose
Claim
Audience
Evidence
Reasoning
Counterclaim
Think about the effective elements of an argument. What is the relationship between logical reasoning and argument?
