Agenda, September 27

Due Now: "Education" by Ralph Waldo Emerson, in The Language of Composition
Due Now: Editorial Analysis #1: Find an editorial (not a news story). Write a one paragraph summary, which includes the source information ("Title," Source, Author) and the author's purpose. Below the summary, restate the author's position and list three reasons in support of that position. Label each of the three reasons as ethos, pathos, or logos. Then state the opposite of the author's position and three counterarguments. Label each of these arguments as ethos, pathos, or logos. Typed. Include a copy of the article or a link to the article.
Due Monday: "The Allegory of the Cave," by Plato (handout - don't leave class without one). Write all over your handout.
