Name___________________________________ Reading Test/Presentation (Feb 22)

Reading TestThis week we are doing another reading test online. When you get a computer, go to this website:portal.riversidepublishing.comUser name: your Origins email address (example: astudent@originshighschool.org) Password: origins1

Follow the teacher’s instructions to complete the reading test (there are two separate parts: Vocabulary and Comprehension).

PresentationWhen you have finished the reading test, or you are waiting to begin the next part, you can begin work on our class presentation assignment. You are writing a 250-word speech (one page double spaced, size 12 Times New Roman font) about a text that uses ethos, pathos, or logos to appeal to an audience. You can look for any text online that tries to argue or persuade the audience; it could be an advertisement, a speech, a fundraiser, a poster, etc. When you find a good text to write about, create a Google doc and share it with pkiefer@originshighschool.org. In your Google doc, write a speech (you will present this to your ELA class next week) that analyzes the text for SOAPSTone (speaker, occasion, audience, purpose, subject, tone) and explains which type of appeal the text uses and how you can tell (ethos, pathos, or logos).
