You should work on your note cards, which are due THIS Friday, November 2nd, by 3:15 pm. You should have 10-15 note cards. I gave you note cards last Friday, but if you have lost them already, I will give you more. If you prefer to type your note cards, I must still see 10-15 pieces of information cited, and you may share these "note cards" with me via Google Docs.
Below is the example that I printed for you over a week ago. It has a sample works cited entry for an author and without an author. Each example shows 4 different ways to cite your information. If you are still lost, I do have after school tutoring available on Thursday. Remember that you must ask me 24 hours in advance to reserve time with me. I have the right to refuse you if you ask 2 hours before class time. Complete the entire worksheet about reviewing subject verb agreement. Underline the subject and circle the verb. We will go over this in class tomorrow. Use your subject-verb agreement packet if you are stuck on a rule!
Work on note cards this week! Remember that you have 10-15 due this Friday! I have already handed back your outlines. Most of you did not write a thesis! What was up with that? How do you write a thesis? Answer the following question: What did you set out to prove based on your outline (look at Roman numerals II, III, IV, and V)? If you did not utilize your time over the past 4 days in class and wrote your paragraphs as I expected you to do, then you will have much to deal with over the weekend. For those of you who kept pace with each day's agenda, all you have to complete is your concluding paragraph if you did not finish it in class today. Reminder that on Monday, we will be in the library for a practice Nextera Quiz over rhetoric and other concepts taught this semester. When you are finished, you will type your essay so that I will have a fresh copy to read and give feedback so that you may make revisions to the text. Parents and guardians who check this website, Your child had approximately 30-45 minutes each day since Tuesday to write a paragraph and ask me for guidance if he/she were confused. I want to let you know this in case something is said about "not having enough time." Also, I would like to reiterate that I am available Monday through Thursday provided that I have a 24 hour notice. On October 29 and 30, I will not be available for tutoring because I have prior obligations. On November 6, I will not be available either. Below are samples of the essays they could have written. Please go over this with your child and make sure that he/she has not paraphrased my essays but paraphrased the texts (pages 29-30 and pages 32-33) in their informational binder. So, if the 35 minutes in class were not enough to allow you to write your counterclaim AND main claim, I expect you to have those completed and brought to class tomorrow. On Monday, after your NEXTERA practice quiz, you will peer review with the whole essay and type it, time permitting.
So, if you didn't quite understand how to do the argumentative essay the way I did it, here is an alternative argument outline.
I. Intro paragraph II. Young presents good advice to men III (Counterclaim) Jennings presents good advice to women IV. Main Claim--Young presents the better advice to women V. Conclusion Have at least the first two paragraphs completed if you are doing this essay format. If you are doing the other, please have body paragraph #2 completed. We will look at how to write the counterclaim and main claim tomorrow. Press on! Tomorrow, you will come to class with your intro paragraph and body paragraph. I will check these for completion. Below is how you will organize your essay.
I. Intro paragraph II. Body Paragraph #1--Jennings's use of pathos III. Body Paragraph #2--Jennings use of ethos IV. Counterclaim---Young's use of ethos and positive message V. Main claim--Jennings's use of logos Here is an example body paragraph about pathos for Jennings Jennings’s first focus of rhetorical device is pathos. More specifically, he uses scare tactics to induce fear in women. Jennings paints a picture of loneliness and isolation if the woman does not make her home pleasant. For example, “He, of course, will have an asylum, should home become tiresome or disagreeable” (Jennings). According to this evidence, Jennings suggest that a man has more opportunities, such as being able to go out and meet new people at a card game or the local pub, to escape a terrible home. However, the woman, as he indicates, has only the home to depend upon, so she should be terrified of his leaving her secluded and her not having any company. Even more so, since the woman has no outside social life or, at least, should not have one, she cannot run to another for comfort (Jennings). Through his use of pathos, what a woman is left with is nothing---no hope, no happiness, no pleasure if the man is not happy and satisfied with his home, and therefore, his advice to women is to make their husbands happy though they be miserable. Citing my author---green Evidence from Jennings's article--purple Evaluation and explanation of evidence---red We are starting the argumentative essay in class. If you do not complete the assigned portion during class time, you will be expected to finish it for homework. Today, we are completing the introductory paragraph.
Here are the new vocab words to enhance your argumentative writing. We will have a vocab test on them Friday, but I expect you to use them in your essay. •Refute (verb)—argue against •Inferior (adjective)– Being of lower rank or status •Subjugate(verb)—to bring under domination or control •Undermine (verb)—to damage or weaken someone or something insidiously •Egregious (adjective)—outstandingly bad or shocking Complete questions 3 and 4 about the speech from Elizabeth Cady Stanton. This is due on Monday.
Read pages 35-39 in the informational binder. Find examples of ethos, pathos, and logos in the article. Write the word beside the paragraph so we may refer back to it tomorrow.
