Chapter 19: Thursday's class

Please see my announcement below for information about my interventions next week.  There will be a sign up--enrollment stops at 30.

Rhetorical Analysis:  a marriage between content and form

Today we answered content questions about Chapter 19 in order to get at Steinbeck's purpose and message.  

Then, I asked students to consult their notes to pinpoint two rhetorical or stylistic ("voice") strategies that Steinbeck uses to achieve his purpose here.

Students constructed a thesis that follows the frame: 

Steinbeck uses (don't forget a good modifier here)________________ and ___________________ in order to emphasize/show/ persuade _________________________________________________________________________. 

Homework is to study Vocabulary for tomorrow.  Chapter 22 is homework for the weekend.
