Attendance was sparse today, due to weather, I'm guessing. We began discussing your responses to the DIDLS practice worksheet you completed over the break. We will continue this on FRIDAY, so please be sure to have your DIDLS responses with you on that day.
I also assigned HW today--it will also be due on FRIDAY, not Thursday, like I originally said. Please revisit the NY Times article, "E-playgrounds Can Get Vicious." The link can be found on one of the blog posts. Print out a copy and and annotate it using DIDLS. Write a one-page typed response (double spaced, of course), discussing the various rhetorical strategies (diction, imagery, language, details and sytax) the writer uses to achieve a particular tone. Be sure to name that tone!
Be sure to be working on your Independent Reading and Presentations, too!
Beginning next week, we will start to go over the format for the Rhetorical Analysis essay.
