Juniors - Tuesday, October 28

Today we finished up discussing the Marilyn Manson article that we read on Monday and went over some more examples of how tone and word choice can influence how persuasive a writer can be. The rest of the period was spent doing an in class activity that was turned in at the end of the period. Small groups each chose a piece of persuasive writing that we've done in class so far and completed an Argument Organizer to break down the argument that the writer is making and to identify all the forms of evidence that is used to back up the claim. Groups that did not finish: please turn this in no later than Thursday. REMINDER: please remember, your first drafts of your editorials are due on Monday. No later.
