January 4-6 Welcome back!

Monday, January 4

Goal for the Day:
Re-integrate into the atmosphere of school and get our projects ready for critique!


TED Talk to get re-inspired about rhetorical arguments:  
  • ·         What model of argumentation is your project following? 
  • ·         How do Cohen’s ideas relate to our project? 
  • ·         What new thoughts does this TED talk give you about our project?

Freewrite (On paper, turn into the box)
  • What is working about your project? In what ways is it effective argument?
  • What does your argument need to be more effective?
  • What do you need to do to refine for exhibition next Wednesday?


WORK TIME:
1.  Write a brief introduction to your project (a few sentences) that you will share with the audience on the exhibition stage.  It should be succinct and to-the-point, just enough to give your project context.  You will practice
2.  Work on refining your exhibition pieces for this week’s critique.  Give it rhetorical flair and audience impact!
