Rhetoric & Comp – Thursday, November 19th
BOOK TALK!
WRITE: Quickwrite #22 – Watch the video below & react/respond/think in yournotebook for 3 minutes. (Note: It’s a student-made video about the fatigue of remote learning – not trying to upset anyone – reactions will vary.)
STUDY: Quick review of using quotes in your writing. Quoting & Citing Tips for Rhetorical Analysis
CREATE: Taking our rap annotations to the next place – rhetorical analysis. What you are essentially writing is an essay. And essay, as a genre, takes the specific and makes it universal (hint: so do most of your rap/hip-hop songs). Use the assignment sheet below and let’s get writing (time to write in breakout rooms).
DEADLINE: WRITING 6 (rap rhetorical analysis) due anytime between Friday 11/20 and end of day Sunday 11/22
PAST DUE: Digital Submission #2 w/ audio (was due 11/15 see past posts for details)
ONGOING: Consider how you will use your feedback & commentary to revise your existing papers.

Check out the page tabs at the top of the website to find RHETORIC & COMP – WRITING ASSIGNMENTS & RHETORIC & COMP – NOTEBOOK CHECKLIST.
