Agenda, September 7

Due Now:
  • "What Does it Mean to be an American?" Essay
  • 8 fancy t-charts
  • The Crucible, by Arthur Miller
Due Dates:
  • Thursday: Organize the words you looked up by act. If you didn't look up any words, don't waste time pretending you did. Don't worry about the definitions; just bring a list of words by act.
  • Friday: Find two examples each of asyndeton, polysyndeton, anaphora, and epistrophe. If you all copy the first two examples you find, it will be a dull day indeed.
Agenda:
  1. Share your claim
  2. Melania and Michelle, together again. Why is this video important?
  3. Index cards and syllabus
  4. Editorials and ethos, pathos, and logos.
  5. The Crucible: What is Miller's claim / argument?
  6. Which scenes deserve extra attention? Emotionally powerful? Dramatically or thematically pivotal? Bafflingly complex?
