Since we just finished revising a rhetorical analysis essay, I thought it would be a good idea to write another one. In class, we read Florence Kelley's speech to the National Association for Women's Suffrage and completed a planning guide. The guide is homework. We'll write the essay in class next time.

We have finally finished the video presentations. Overall, you all did a nice job.
Today, we are working on rhetorical analysis. I have returned the FD essays, and you are going to revise the introduction and one body paragraph. The first step is to highlight the essay so that you can visually see what you have and what you are missing. Then, you come and talk to me. We will conference so that you can improve your writing. Finally, you will go to the Google classroom, open the form, and complete it. The form must be printed out and attached to the original essay. It is due next class period. It is vital that you take this task very seriously. I scored the essays knowing that you are new at writing rhetorical analysis. I will begin to score these under College Board's requirements. We must improve our writing skills, and one way to do this is to revise, discuss, rewrite. This period we worked on our video projects.
