What function does rhetoric play in a society?

Goals for the Day

  • Explore the functions of rhetoric as an art 
  • Internalize rhetorical concepts from this week


Reading:  Will

  • Please don't forget to get on Edmodo and give Will feedback!


Starter #11:


Review/Discuss:  Dr. King's rhetoric


Lesson:  RHETORIC AS AN ART


TURN IN:  Reverse Outline


Project Overview:  Deconstructing the Rhetoric:  Ideology and the American Experience


Rhetorical Exchange:  Rhetoric is a response and invites a response....

  • Respond to this rhetoric in at least 250 words.  (Approx. 2 well-developed paragraphs)  
  • Your response should have two parts: 1) Relate this clip to any of the ideas from the "RHETORIC AS AN ART" section of the Herrick article; 2) Respond to the message itself as an "audience member." What is your ideological reaction to this clip?  (Be rhetorical!)
  • Email me your entire response.  Post the second part of your response to Edmodo.  Respond to the rhetoric of your peers.



Homework

  • If you do not finish in class, continue the rhetorical exchange on Edmodo.
  • Consume rhetoric.  Think more deeply about it than you would have before this week.  Relate it to the ideas in the Herrick article.  Let your learning sink in.  Rest and breathe deeply.  


(If you have not turned in your reflection/DP link, it is due no later than 11:59 tonight)
