Happy Monday! It's a happy Monday because we don't have school tomorrow. In honor of Veteran's Day, please just take a few minutes out of your day tomorrow to appreciate those who have sacrificed so much for our country. Today you turned in your final drafts of your editorials and I can't wait to read them! We also continued watching Fahrenheit 9/11. I asked you to watch out for Michael Moore's use of testimony to support his argument - why does he choose to interview the people he does? What is it about these testimonies support his argument? Are there any inconsistencies or weak parts of the argument as a result of this use of testimony? Pay close attention to this film, as we will be talking about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the Vietnam War, in our next unit. Enjoy your day off tomorrow! =)
