Good morning!

I was happy to receive a good sub report....despite the apparent confusion yesterday ;)

Here is what we have for today:

1. Warm Up: Imagery #2
2. Discuss Ethos, Logos, Pathos PPT (hopefully we did our HW...)
3. Opinion Article Activity

HW: Over the weekend, I want you to write your own opinion piece/editorial on any topic of your choosing. Think of something you have strong opinions about, and write about it. Why do you think that? What is your reasoning? Attempt to appeal to your reader's emotions and reasoning.

There is no right or wrong response, this is just practice. EXPRESS YOUR OPINIONS!


Examples: 

-Do schools give students enough chances to be creative?
-Should what you say on Facebook be grounds for getting fired?
-How would you feel about a computer writing your essays?
-Do TV shows like '16 and pregnant' promote or discourage teen pregnancy?

There are a TON of prompts at the following website, go there for even more writing ideas!
