******FRIDAY July 1*****

We made it to Seattle!!  The whole family is here for a wedding.  My girls have been playing with their cousins non-stop.

Today I'd like you to start by spending FIVE WHOLE minutes freewriting a response here in blogger  to the prompt The Problem.

Also, please complete Sentence Combining #4.  This should be posted to the blogger as a reply.

I'd also like you to complete an exercise Parallel Structures-- this exercise should be a reply to the post here in blogger.

Lastly, please workshop your proposal letters with 2 peers.  This means groups of three.  Exchange using Google docs, or as an email with a MSWord attachment.  Your revision comments should be phrased as rhetorical analysis. 

• What is the main claim-- is it clear?  
• Who is the primary audience-- do they have the power to enact the claim? 
•  Is there strong logos? Are there any weaknesses in logos?  
• What emotion do they evoke? Can you suggest one?  
• Have they established their ethos? 
•  Is the overall argument effective?

That makes a total of three in-class writing exercises and one workshop (comments on two peer drafts).

For homew3#ork, please revise your essay and read the Student Example of Proposal posted here in blogger.  

ENJOY your long weekend.  I'll see you Tuesday.
