Thursday

Accessing Previous Knowledge work: persuasive speech (more details about this, later)
Friday
- Miss LaFreniere will be bringing 40 copies of the SOAPSTone form.
- I'll put an example of one here (probably at 9:25ish) - Scroll down and click on the attachment: Scan 4.jpeg :)
- Please read Activity 2.22's refresher on rhetorical appeals, then annotate Lincoln's Gettysburg Address for them.
- Fill out a SOAPSTone form for the Gettysburg Address.
- Read the "One Last Stand with Syntax" page - Activity 2.24, p. 160 - and then read and annotate JFK's Inaugural Address (following the During Reading, #2 instructions - top of p. 161).
- Now, go figure out how your own speech could be planned, using a SOAPSTone. The instructions / guidelines at the bottom of p. 150 are super helpful for this.
- NOTE: This is a GREAT TIME to peel off and do research. What societal issue to you care enough about to do both a persuasive speech and three editorial products over it?
- Whatever you do, make sure you start an EasyBib project for it. You will be practicing all three types of in-text citations in this project: summarizing, paraphrasing, and quotations. Do "future you" a favor by collecting your research bibliographic information as you read. When I am doing this, I use a few browser tabs, flipping back and forth with the control+tab keyboard function. Makes life easier!
- Another tip: ProCon.org has excellent resources about most of our "testiest" societal issues.
- Lastly, use a SOAPSTone for your own speech.
Leave both SOAPSTones with Ms. Poirier, please.
