AP Language
Today we spent time in class going back to the idea of language, identity, and the skill of rhetorical analysis. I hope that as we are reading, thinking, and discussing, you are able to see the way in which you will accomplish the individual part of your group project - the rhetorical analysis. Keep in mind that as you are writing a rhetorical analysis, you're doing what we do in discussion. Picking out small details and finding the way in which they contribute to the author's argument. We're focusing our work on satire and social commentary, so hopefully this helps you to set a purpose and goal for your reading and notetaking.
Next class we'll be working through Chapters 29-33 in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and we'll have time to work in our groups on our project. Come prepared with your choice text and the beginnings of your notes/annotations. We'll review an outline structure you may find helpful to complete part one of your project.

Today we took time to settle up some of our missing assignments or to get ahead on the parts of the project yet to come. The most important things to make sure we submit (if missing) are the major point assignments: Day 16 Analysis, Unit Project Brainstorming, and the Teenage Rebellion quickwrite. Remember that you can always turn in assignments late and still get full credit.
After that we discussed and read "The Shabbat" and thought about how the death of her friend will affect Marji moving forward. Next class we'll be finishing Part One of Persepolis, so we'll see if we are right.
For tonight, stay focused on submitting any missing work from today. I won't be assigning anything over Thanksgiving break, and Tuesday will be an asynchronous day, so you'll have more chances to get caught up as we move forward.
