Speeches First Book groups Cornell Notes How-to

Suggested Weekend work- start thinking about independent reading At least 200 pages Nonfiction highly suggested Thank You for Arguing is my recommendation

Page 3: AP Lang

The cool kids call them C-notes

Page 4: AP Lang

In 1885, Hermann Ebbinghaus did extensive research around the idea of forgetting. In his book, Memory: A Contribution to Experimental Psychology, he mapped out the rate at which the average human forgets information over time.

Page 5: AP Lang

Ebbinghaus went on to examine how frequently a student would need to revisit information in order to regain near perfect recall.  His research evinces the brain’s ability to retain information, when we revisit the information during key times.

Page 6: AP Lang
Page 7: AP Lang

The idea is that the Cornell notes setup builds in ways to review your notes at those critical points by hiding or revealing different parts of the material so you can quiz yourself.

Consider: The man sighed hugely. E. Annie Proulx, The Shipping News

Discuss: What does it mean to sigh hugely?How would the meaning of the sentence change if

we rewrote it as: The man sighed loudly.Apply: Fill in the blank below with an adverb:

The man coughed ___________________.Your adverb should make the cough express and

attitude. For example, the cough could express contempt, desperation, or propriety. Do not state the attitude. Instead, let the adverb imply it.

Page 17: AP Lang

You Are Not Special speech 1-10 for Logos, Ethos, Pathos

•Watch for how he establishes L/E/P •Note the structure of the speech

In your opinion, what were the 3 most important things the speech Does?

Page 18: AP Lang

title+ author+ active verb+ term+ example 1+ example 2+ purpose.

Example: In “Leaving Home” by Norman Rockwell, the artist employs contrasting clothing of working class denim versus a summer suit between father and son, respectively, to demonstrate the stark differences between their occupations.

Have your IRB in class tomorrow Tonight- Read 36-48. Think of Angelou’s

“My First Lifeline” as you read their analysis of Didion and compare their suggestions of dialectical journals to the annotating I presented yesterday. • As always- add the bold words to your notecards

Not Ethos from yesterday, Pathos as propagandistic and polemical- Somebody should have called me on that one!

Page 22: AP Lang

“It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known”  

~ Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities Discuss: Put the sentence into your own words. How

does the sentence’s complexity add to its impact? Where are the most important words – at the beginning

or at the end? What effect does this have on the reader? What is the effect of the rhyme and repetition in this

sentence? What function does the colon serve in this sentence?

Apply- Using Dickens’ sentence as a model, write a sentence using repetition for emphasis and a progression of ideas. Insert a semicolon as well if you dare.

Page 23: AP Lang

For nearly a year, I sopped around the house, the Store, the school and the church, like an old biscuit, dirty and inedible. Then I met, or rather got to know, the lady who threw me my first life line.

Page 24: AP Lang
Page 25: AP Lang

He was a year older than I, skinny, brown as a chocolate bar, his hair orange, his hazel eyes full of mischief and laughter. ~Esmerelda Santaigo, When I was Puerto Rican

Look carefully at the way this sentence is written. All of the words that follow the word I are used to describe the he of the sentence. They are adjectives and adjective phrases. This is not the way words are usually ordered in English. (Usually, adjectives are right before the nouns they modify, or at least next to them.) What effect does this word order have on the meaning of the sentence?

Placing all of the adjective phrases one after the other is called layering. What effect does this layering have on the impact of the sentence?

Page 26: AP Lang

He was a year older than I, skinny, brown as a chocolate bar, his hair orange, his hazel eyes full of mischief and laughter.

He (She) was ___comparative of an adjective___ than I, ___adjective____,

____simile that describes the subject_____, his/her hair ___adjective____, his/her eyes ____adjective phrase_____.

Homework- Study for tomorrow’s Quiz. • Be ready for anything- especially for

analyzing a piece of writing like they do with the Didion essay in Ch 2

Page 33: AP Lang

But that is Cooper’s way; frequently he will explain and justify little things that do not need it and then make yup for this by as frequently failing to explain important ones that do need it. For instance he allowed that astute and cautious person, Deerslayer-Hawkeye, to throw his rifle heedlessly down and leave it lying on the front where some hostile Indians would presently be sure to find it – a rifle prized by that person above all things else in the earth – and the reader hers not work of explanation of that strange act. There was a reason, but it wouldn’t bear exposure. Cooper meant to get a fine dramatic effect out of the finding of the rifle by the Indians, and he accomplished this at the happy time; but all the same, Hawkeye could have hidden the rifle in a quarter of a minute where the Indians could not have found it. Cooper couldn’t think of any way to explain why Hawkeye didn’t do that, so he just shirked the difficulty and did not explain at all. Mark Twain, “Cooper’s Prose Style,” Letters from the Earth

Discuss:What is Twain’s tone in this passage? What is central to the tone of this passage: the attitude toward the speaker, the subject, or the reader?

How does Twain create the tone? Apply:Write a paragraph about a movie you have recently seen. Create a critical,

disparaging tone through your choice of details. Use Twain’s paragraph as a model.

Brother, continue to listen.You say that you are sent to instruct us how to worship the

Great Spirit agreeably to his mind; and, if we do not take hold of how the religion which you white people teach, we shall be unhappy hereafter. You say that you are right and we are lost. How do we know this to be true?

Chief red Jacket, “Chief Red Jacket Rejects a Change of Religion”

Discuss: The words “you say” are repeated several times in the sentence. What is the repetition’s function?

The question at the end of the passage is a rhetorical question. What attitude toward the audience is expressed by the use of a rhetorical question?

 Apply: Write a three-sentence paragraph modeled after Chief Red Jacket’s passage. The first two sentences should contain repetition; the third sentence should be a rhetorical question. Your topic is school uniforms.

As with diction, for syntax, you look for patterns and for breaks in patterns. When you feel you’re getting the hang of that, start branching out into some of the specialized terminology.

Page 42: AP Lang

The Custom House at Salem Maritime NHS is the last of 13 Custom Houses in the city. There has been a Custom House in Salem since 1649, collecting taxes on imported cargos first for the British Government during the Colonial period, then for the American Government after the establishment of theU. S. Customs Service in 1789. This Custom House was built in 1819 and housed offices for the officers of the U.S. Customs Service, as well as an attached warehouse, the Public Stores, used for the storage of bonded and impounded cargo. The Custom House symbolized the Federal Government's presence in Salem, requiring the architects to design an impressive building. High ceilings, a sweeping staircase, and beautifully carved woodwork all contribute to a feeling of strength and stability. The Salem Custom House was used by the U. S. Customs Service into the 1930s, and the furnishings reflect the long use of the building.

The Custom House

                                     

Page 43: AP Lang

The Collector's offices were furnished with rich colors and fine furniture. The furniture in these offices was purchased by the Customs Service in 1873.

In 1826, a wooden eagle was placed on the roof. It was carved by Salem craftsman Joseph True, and its original cost was $50.00. In 2004, the original eagle was replaced with a fiberglass replica. After several years of conservation work, the Joseph True eagle will be going on display in the Custom House in 2007.

What does the Rhetorical Triangle for The Custom House look like?

Page 45: AP Lang

Backlash against 18th century Enlightenment which focused on science as a way to find truth

Builds on British Romanticism which started at the turn of the 19th century, many see an influence of the French Revolution. Seen in the works of British poets William Wordsworth and Samuel Coleridge. Builds to Transcendentalism

Characteristics of American Romantic Literature• Distrust of “civilization” and cities• Nostalgia for the past• Focus on individual freedom• Appreciation of the beauty of nature• Interest in the supernatural

Page 46: AP Lang

Hero seems youthful, innocent Heroes love nature and hate “civilization” Heroes distrust women who are seen as “civilizing”

and constraining Heroes often journey from the city to nature

• Getting away from cities allows the hero to focus on using their imagination and find “truth” in nature that can’t exist in a city

Often requires a strong “suspension of disbelief” In European literature, the wilderness is often a

frightening, violent place. In American Literature, wilderness is idealized as a place of freedom, connects to growth in American nationalism

Homework- Annotate Kennedy’s speech for the abundance of rhetorical devices—antithesis in particular, but also parallelism, allusion, metaphor, and alliteration (add on anaphora and zeugma if you’re bold)

Warmup 10 Summarize Section 2 of Custom House.

Use last night’s notes for reference

Page 49: AP Lang
Page 50: AP Lang

Antithesis- parallel syntax with opposite idea• “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”

parallelism- repeated syntax• “Roses are red/ violets are blue”

Metaphor- implicit comparison • “Juliet is the sun”

Alliteration-repeating sounds at the start of several closely placed words. • “The harried woman hurriedly packed her horrid bag.”

Page 51: AP Lang

a reference to a place, person, or something that happened. This can be real or imaginary and may refer to anything, including paintings, opera, folk lore, mythical figures, or religious manuscripts. The reference can be direct or may be inferred

Allusions are rhetorical shortcuts they allow the writer to give an example or get a point across without going into a lengthy explanation.

Allusions are risky because they’re contingent on mutual knowledge between speaker and audience.

Page 52: AP Lang

He was a real Romeo with the ladies.”   “Chocolate was her Achilles’ heel He was a Good Samaritan yesterday when he

helped the lady start her car.” “She turned the other cheek after she was

cheated out of a promotion.” “This place is like a Garden of Eden.”

Develop “Allusion Antennae” and look things up when you come across them.

Scarlett's Red Dress Scene American Heritage Dictionary says scarlet woman

• A prostitute, an immoral woman, as in Malicious gossip had it that she was a scarlet woman, which was quite untrue . This expression first appeared in Revelation 17:5, describing Saint John's vision of a woman in scarlet clothes with an inscription on her forehead, "Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth." Some interpreters believe she stood for Rome, drunk with the blood of saints, but by about 1700 the term was being used more generally for a woman with loose morals.

Page 54: AP Lang

Anaphora- Repeating words at the beginning of poetic stanzas or sentences. What Anaphora have we seen lately?

Zeugma-any case of parallelism and ellipsis working together so that a single word governs two or more other parts of a sentence• Ellipsis- the act of leaving out one or more words that are not

necessary for a phrase to be understood. This may be done with punctuation (…) but also with syntax. “Begin when ready” for “Begin when you are ready”

• Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend. (Francis Bacon[13]).

• The more usual way of phrasing this would be: "Histories make men wise, poets make them witty, the mathematics make them subtle, natural philosophy makes them deep, moral makes them grave, and logic and rhetoric make them able to contend."

Kennedy's 1961 Inauguration Speech

Page 56: AP Lang

No sooner had the reverberation of my blows sunk into silence then I was answered by a voice from within the tomb! – by a cry, as first muffled and broken, like the sobbing of a child, and then quickly swelling into one long, loud, and continuous scream, utterly anomalous and inhuman – a howl! – a wailing shriek, half of horror and half of triumph, such as might have arisen only out of hell, conjointly from the throats of the damned in their agony and of the demons that exult the damnation.

Edgar Allan Poe, “The Black Cat” Discuss:The dashes in this long sentence set off a series of appositives. (An

appositive is a noun or noun phrase places beside another noun or noun phrase and used to identify or explain it.) What noun phrase is explained by the appositives?

This sentence makes syntactic and semantic sense if it ends with the first exclamation point. What do the appositives add to the meaning and effectiveness of this sentence?

Edgar Allan Poe, “The Black Cat”

Apply:Rewrite Poe’s sentence, changing it into a series of short sentences.

Read your sentences to the class and note how the use of short sentences changes the overall meaning of the original.

1. Why are so many of the words abstract? How do words like “Freedom,” “poverty,” “devotion,” “loyalty,” and “sacrifice,” impact tone?

2. Are there clichés in the speech? Are there fresher metaphors? Where?

3. Can you find examples of archaic diction? Where? To what effect are they employed?

Page 62: AP Lang

A throng of bearded men, in sad-colored garments and gray, steeple-crowned hats, intermixed with women, some wearing hoods, and others bareheaded, was assembled in front of a wooden edifice, the door of which was heavily timbered with oak, and studded with iron spikes.

Page 63: AP Lang

The founders of a new colony, whatever Utopia of human virtue and happiness they might originally project, have invariably recognized it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery, and another portion as the site of a prison. In accordance with this rule, it may safely be assumed that the forefathers of Boston had built the first prison-house, somewhere in the vicinity of Cornhill, almost as seasonably as they marked out the first burial-ground, on Isaac Johnson's lot, and round about his grave, which subsequently became the nucleus of all the congregated sepulchres in the old church-yard of King's Chapel.

Page 64: AP Lang

Certain it is, that, some fifteen or twenty years after the settlement of the town, the wooden jail was already marked with weather-stains and other indications of age, which gave a yet darker aspect to its beetle-browed and gloomy front. The rust on the ponderous iron-work of its oaken door looked more antique than any thing else in the new world. Like all that pertains to crime, it seemed never to have known a youthful era. Before this ugly edifice, and between it and the wheel-track of the street, was a grass-plot, much overgrown with burdock, pig-weed, apple-peru, and such unsightly vegetation, which evidently found something congenial in the soil that had so early borne the black flower of civilized society, a prison.

Page 65: AP Lang

. But, on one side of the portal, and rooted almost at the threshold, was a wild rose-bush, covered, in this month of June, with its delicate gems, which might be imagined to offer their fragrance and fragile beauty to the prisoner as he went in, and to the condemned criminal as he came forth to his doom, in token that the deep heart of Nature could pity and be kind to him.

Page 66: AP Lang

This rose-bush, by a strange chance, has been kept alive in history; but whether it had merely survived out of the stern old wilderness, so long after the fall of the gigantic pines and oaks that originally overshadowed it,--or whether, as there is fair authority for believing, it had sprung up under the footsteps of the sainted Ann Hutchinson, as she entered the prison-door,--we shall not take upon us to determine. Finding it so directly on the threshold of our narrative, which is now about to issue from that inauspicious portal, we could hardly do otherwise than pluck one of its flowers and present it to the reader. It may serve, let us hope, to symbolize some sweet moral blossom, that may be found along the track, or relieve the darkening close of a tale of human frailty and sorrow.

Now, the use of culture is that it helps us, by means of its spiritual standard of perfection, to regard wealth but as machinery, and not only to say as a matter of words that we regard wealth but as machinery, but really to perceive and feel that it is so. If it were not for this purging effect wrought upon by our minds by culture, the whole world, the future as well as the present, would inevitably belong to the philistines.

Matthew Arnold, “Sweetness and Light,” Culture and Anarchy Re-write the first sentence in your own words. How does the

sentence’s complexity add to its impact?Discuss: Where are the most important words in the second

sentence of this passage – at the beginning or at the end? What effect does this have on the reader?

Would Hawthorne agree with Arnold?

Warmup 13• One of the things you need to recognize in

AP Lang is that everything a writer presents whether it’s poetry or prose, fiction or non-fiction contains an argument. With that mentality, what argument is Hawthorne making in the Custom House?

elements that come into play in the last part of Custom House with someone next to you

Page 79: AP Lang

Thinking about Ch 1- what can you predict will be some of the primary motifs in the book?

Page 80: AP Lang

Consider: Most men wear their belts low here, there being so many outstanding bellies, some big enough to have their names of their own and be formally introduced. Those men don’t suck them in or hide them in loose shirts, they let them hang free, they pat them, they stroke them as they stand around and talk.

Garrison Keillor, “Home,” Lake Wobegone Days Discuss: What is the usual meaning of outstanding? What

is its meaning here? what does this pun reveal about the attitude of the author toward this subject?

Read the second sentence again. How would the level of formality change if we changed suck to pull and let them hang free to accept them?

Page 81: AP Lang

Those men don’t suck them in or hide them in loose shirts, they let them hang free, they pat them, they stroke them as they stand around and talk.

Garrison Keillor, “Home,” Lake Wobegone Days

Apply:Write a sentence or two describing tan unattractive but beloved

relative. In your description, use words that describe the unattractive features honestly yet reveal that you care about this person, that you accept and even admire him/her, complete with defects. Use Keillor’s description as a model. Throw in a pun if you can think of one. Share your description with the class.

Puritan Punishments Laws in colonial Massachusetts covered

everything from swearing to excessive decoration on women’s caps to murder.

Whipping, branding, and other forms of public humiliation were relatively common practices

in the colonies. Hester Prynne’s punishment was mild by Puritan standards.

Graded on writing and meeting the requirements of the prompt. Grades do not reflect my judgment of your life.

The best papers interwove connecting or thematically related metaphors which aptly and creatively fit the situation

They also clearly demonstrated the impact of the lifeline

Paper titles do not need underlines Left grade is the essay, right grade for annotations P/X/M system Annotations are a improving tremendously

Page 85: AP Lang

In 1841, Hawthorne invested $1500 in the Brook Farm Utopian Community, leaving disillusioned within a year

His later works show some Transcendentalist influence, including a belief in individual choice and consequence, and an emphasis on symbolism. As America's first true psychological novel, The Scarlet Letter would convey these ideals; contrasting puritan morality with passion and individualism

Page 86: AP Lang

The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl

44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.

In what ways was yesterday’s authentic College Board multiple choice similar to the other AP-style MC we’ve done before? (Kennedy, Edwards)

In what ways was it different?

Page 88: AP Lang
Page 89: AP Lang

Consider:Pots rattled in the kitchen where momma was frying corn cakes to go with the vegetables soup for supper, and the homey sounds and scents cushioned me as I read of Jane Eyre in the cold English mansion of a colder English gentleman.

Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird SingsDiscuss:By using the word cushioned, what does Angelou

imply about her life and Jane Eyre’s life?What is the difference between the cold of the English

mansion and the cold of the English gentleman? What does Angelou’s diction convey about her attitude toward Jane’s life?

Page 90: AP Lang

 Apply:Write a sentence using a strong verb to connect one part of your life with another. For example, you could connect to a book you are reading and our mother’s dinner preparations, as Maya Angelou does; or you could connect a classroom lecture with sounds outside. Be creative. Use an exact verb (like cushioned), one which connotes the attitude you want to convey. Share your sentence with the class

Page 91: AP Lang

Warmup 20?Consider: I slowed still more, my shadow pacing me dragging its

head through the weeds that hid the fence.- William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury

Discuss: In this sentence, form indicates meaning. How does Faulkner slow the sentence down, reinforcing the sentence’s meaning? How would the impact of the sentence change if he rewrote the sentence to read:

I slowed still more. My shadow paces me and dragged its head through the weed-obscured fence.

Apply: Using Faulkner’s sentence as a model, write a sentence that expresses reluctance. Use at least two phrases and one subordinate clause to reinforce the meaning of your sentence. Share your sentence with the class and explain how your syntax reinforces your meaning.
