Today, the plan is to review Grade 11 grammar lessons 17, 18, & 19, plus read a little from Mortal Syntax.
We will take up questions from "Perils of Indifference" and "Thinking through the Essay".
What I hope to accomplish this week is a review of essay writing - both the different types of essays plus Rhetorical Devices and Strategies employed within the essay.
You will have a short assessment piece before you submit a persuasive essay for evaluation.
We will be reading several pieces from Echoes:
Brave New World excerpt p. 331; "The Closing of the (North) American Mind" p. 325; The Role of the Teacher" p. 337; "Of Revenge" p. 344; "How Wise is it to Separate Our Emotions from the Rest of our Being?" p. 406. I'll assign questions from the text for each of these readings in tomorrow's blog.
Remember to incorporate direct quotations from the text into your answers.
