First of all, I decided to postpone the group presentations for an extra week — you’re welcome . So, we’ll talk about them on Monday and get into groups for it so you’ll have about 2 weeks to get them together.

Second, since your Rhetorical Analysis papers are not due until 11:59 pm on Monday, we’ll also go over in class what you are turning in and how (hint: check the assignment sheet). So, don’t stress too much about it yet. It should only take a couple minutes to pull it all together after class.

Third, take the comments from your peer reviewers, the assignment sheet, the teacher review sheet, and your notes on what we’ve talked about in class about how to analyze the situation, purpose, audience, and claims, and revise your peer draft into a teacher draft. Notice that it is still called a “draft.” Rhetorical Analysis is not an easy thing to do. It takes a lot of practice. I’m excited to see what you’ve all learned from our discussions and be able to point you toward even better analysis.

Fourth, start searching for a second source to use for the next paper.

Fifth, do the reading: GL 65-77 and 138-149.

Sixth, use the worksheet on page 147 to take notes about your current source, and, if you found it, the second source. Send me your notes typed in an email (you do not have to attach a document to the email for the notes, although you are welcome to). I’ll give you some feedback on your synthesis of the text.

Seventh, see you on Monday!
