In-Class, Feb. 27th, and homework for Friday...

For those who were not there:

We've read the article "Rights to Remember" together - paragraph by paragraph - and created an outline together on the white board.

The outline contained 1) the author's main points, 2) the different arguments made (forensic, fact/information, pathos, ethos, explore), 3) stylistic means used by the author (metaphor, alliteration, allusion), and 4) the thesis of the author.

Then, I collected your outlines that you did at home for grading.

HOMEWORK for Friday:

A) Read the pro-Bush text "The Bush Revolution" on pp. 391-398 in Aims of Argument (the dark blue book), and create an outline.

B) Create a Works Cited page with the two entries of the texts we've dealt with: "Rights to Remember," and "The Bush Revolution." It has to be in MLA style. Look in your book A Writer's Resource from ENGL 101 to find out how to do this (attention: you have to use the entry that says "Rpt. in"). I don't want to see any wrong ones. If you use your handbook, all you have to do is to exchange the words from the example given to you.
