JAN.7 RESPONSE/PARALLEL STRUCTURE & SPEECH QUESTIONS

SENIORS: Click on this link for today's response to Perks.  Please continue to read the book; you want to try to finish 30 pages a day.  This will allow you to complete the novel with two class periods to spare, giving you those two class periods to work on your final project.

SOPHOMORES: The mini-unit on Speech, which we began today, will help to prepare you for the Argument and Debate unit that will start off the second semester.  We went over a list of questions for you to use when analyzing a speech; these questions will also come into play when you will be preparing for your debate next semester.  Click on this link for the questions.

Speech and debate writers use many techniques in order to be effective.  One of those techniques is parallel structure (it helps to create a memorable rhythm), and we did an exercise to demonstrate that technique.  Click on this link for that exercise.
