Agenda, September 8
Late:
- "What Does it Mean to be an American?" Essay
- 8 fancy t-charts
- The Crucible, by Arthur Miller
Due Dates:
- Now: 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.
- Tomorrow: 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.
- Monday: Find
two examples each of understatement, litotes, and hyperbole. We'll also discuss hypophora and rhetorical question, but you don't need examples.
If you all copy the first two examples you find, it will be a dull day
indeed.
Agenda:
- Rhetorical Device Sort
- The Crucible: What is Miller's claim / argument?
- Which scenes deserve extra attention? Emotionally powerful? Dramatically or thematically pivotal? Bafflingly complex?
- The Crucible Discussion Question #1.
- Revisit essential scenes
- Vocab Venn Diagrams
