Modern Literature - Tuesday, October 14

Today we spent a good deal of time finishing up Mitch Albom's "A Bullet's Impact" and discussing it. We evaluated his persuasive strategies as well as his use of story to persuade his reader. We picked out effective lines, his use of impactful language and word choice, his use of repetition and specific imagery and detail. We also filled out a graphic organizer that helps you break down the writer's purpose, audience, and strategy. Click the link below to download the organizer, and to get a copy of the article there is a link on yesterday's post (scroll down). We will be referring to both in the future and using the organizer for more articles.
