The Awakening Day 2 The Sacred Calling and Gender Songs

Kevin Brown Associate Principal, North Campus Work with an assigned partner (25 mins) to thoughtfully consider and articulately answer the rhetorical analysis questions which follow “The Sacred Calling”. (Cross out # 6, 7, 11) We will follow with discussion and possibly watch the rest of The Cult of Domesticity youtube video HW: Gender roles and Expectations for Men and Women: Find a song that comments on men’s or women’s roles/expectations today. Make them school appropriate (perhaps moving beyond obviously misogynistic or obscene lyrics   which, unfortunately, exist)   Print the song and then write a paragraph rhetorical analysis which describes how the author uses language and music to convey a certain idea about women and/or men.  You might consider word choices (diction) and their connotations/denotations, selection of details, syntax, repetition, juxtaposition (compare/contrast), symbols/motifs, tone (of voice/music), mood of song, etc.
