Friday

Today - we will discuss A Taste of Power chapter 1, read"Upon Seeing England for the 1st Time", look at an AP analysis question, and go over PRECIS writing.  You will write a PRECIS for "Upon Seeing England for the 1st Time"

I will also present an article on the "Slippery Slope" fallacy to show you an example of news article that you can begin to research and write about.


"On Seeing England for the First Time" by Jamaica Kincaid.  I want you to think about speaker, audience, subject (who is each here); her thesis, purpose, tone, mode, and the occasion for the essay.  Don't worry this isn't a test.
