BELL WORK: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14TH

Review: List THREE ways an author/speaker can employ

ethos:

1.) Establishing good character

2.) Proving authority on the topic

3.) Conveying shared values

BENCHMARK REVIEW

1.) Move your desk closer to the person sitting next to you.

2.) Switch paragraphs about Censorship/Banning books argument

3.) Read thesis statement and provide feedback

a. Does it convey a concise claim about WHY one source has a more

effective argument than another?

b. Does it include TWO devices that make the argument so effective?

Example:

LET’S WORKSHOP SOME!• Example 1:

• Example 2:

NOW, READ THROUGH PARAGRAPH ONE

- Does the writer include background about the article? If no, mark this.

If yes, do you have any suggestions?

- Does each quotation have a proper lead-in, using TCS? If no, mark this.

If yes, do you have any suggestions?

- Provide feedback on the analysis after each evidence.

a.) Does the analysis explain the use of the device in the context

of the piece? (Does it explain HOW it is an example of ethos,

pathos, or logos?)

b.) Does the analysis explain WHY the device/appeal will be

effective at convincing the audience?

EXAMPLE

• In the first paragraph, the author connects this issue to the Bill of

Rights, explaining, “The first amendment basically, grants American

citizens the right to access, publish, or broadcast any content as

long as it does not infringe upon the rights or safety of others.” The

author establishes shared values with his audience. The use of ethos

is effective because the Bill of Rights is something all of the

American people live by, and so to find out that the Bill of Rights

supports the author’s argument is extremely effective.

NOW, READ THROUGH PARAGRAPH TWO

- Is there a clear topic sentence that address the ineffectiveness of the other

article?

- Does the writer include background about each article? If no, mark this. If

yes, do you have any suggestions?

- Does each quotation have a proper lead-in, using TCS? If no, mark this. If yes,

do you have any suggestions?

- Provide feedback on the analysis after each evidence.

a.) Does the analysis explain the INTENDED use of the device in the

context of the piece? (Does it explain HOW it is an example of ethos,

pathos, or logos?)

b.) Does the analysis explain WHY the device/appeal will NOT be as

effective at convincing the audience?

EXAMPLE:

CREATE AN ARGUMENT (8-10 SENTENCES)Would you encourage someone else to read To Kill a Mockingbird?

WHY? Think:

- Why is it an important text?

What is ONE theme,

motif OR symbol

presented in A Tale of Two

Cities?

its significance to the text.

BELL WORK: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22ND

Respond:

What narrative or figurative language device(s) does Dickens

use to enhance and further the plot of the novel? Choose at

least one device, and give an example.

Nature is a powerful element in A Tale of Two Cities. Dickens often uses natural phenomena to comment on what is happening among the characters. Two examples of this technique can be found in Book the Second, Chapter 5 and 6. One occurs when Carton emerges from Stryver’s office after a long night of work (82-83). The other occurs during the summer thunderstorm at the Manettes’ house in Soho (93-95)

1. Reread these passages.

2. Then, write an argumentative paragraph supporting or opposing the following statement: “Dickens’s use of nature to mirror human emotions is ineffective and contrived.” Support your claim using two examples from the text.

Outline:

1.) Thesis

2.) Background info.

3.) Lead-in using TCS + quotation + Citation

4.) Explain

5.) Lead-in using TCS + quotation + citation

6.) Explain

7.) Concluding statement

• In his novel, A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens effectively uses the imagery and symbolism of nature to accurately and purposefully portray human emotions. Throughout the novel, symbols of nature are repeatedly utilized to foreshadow events. Examples of these devices include the description of the day as Carton emerges from Stryver’s office, as well as the violent weather near the Manette home in London. To illustrate this assertion, as Carton retires to sleep after a long day’s work at the office, the author describes, “wasteforce within him, and desert all around, this man stood still on his way across a silent terrace, and saw for a moment, lying in the wilderness before him, a mirage of honorable ambition, self denial, and perseverance,” (Dickens 83). As this quotation highlights, the author is using a variety of natural places, such as the desert and wilderness, to convey Carton’s feelings of despair and inadequacy. It also serves to illustrate an internal conflict within Carton, for his longing of what he could have been. However, the author also utilizes a natural event such as a desert mirage to communicate new hope that Carton will one day become a successful person he has long yearned to be. The use of nature in highlighting Carton’s emotions is highly effective because it makes the characters more easily accessible and understandable within the context of the novel.
