- I will continue to develop my rhetorical awareness and vocabulary skills.
- I will also reflect on the different ways that English is spoken, and the assumptions we make about people based on our perceptions of how they speak.
Homework: Read pages 699 to 704, which includes Amy Tan's Mother Tongue. Title your journal entry Amy Tan's Mother Tongue journal 09.03.14 . Answer Questions for Discussion # 3 & 8 and Questions of Rhetoric and Style 2 & 3.
- AP Test Reading Passage Practice individually and with a partner(s)
- Please write your full name and the class period on the first page of the packet. I will collect the packet at the end of class.
- Take 15 minutes total to read the second passage on pp 17-18 and then answer questions 11-22.
- Don't stress if you don't finish. I would rather have you work steadily on this practice exercise.
- After working on the passage individually, I will pair you with someone and have you discuss the questions and your respective answers.
- When you find you have different answers for a question, discuss the question and answers further (look back at the text, too) and see if you can reach an agreement on the best answer.
- Also, identify two questions which you and your partner thought were potentially the most difficult. Write your names and the number of each question on a post-it and then give it to me. (10 mins)
- If time permits, I will go over the answers with you.
