AP Language Class Notes
Objective(s): APELC students analyzed two writers’ rhetorical strategies.
Period 5, today we reviewed the Soto excerpt upon which you wrote your timed-writing and the Mannign piece about which you answered several questions. Remember, it all comes down to presentation and scheme. From these speakers establish common ground and affect (even effect) an audience’s emotional needs. Linguistically, any utterance (for our purposes, verbal and textual) begins with the kernel sentence in English, S(ubject) + V(erb), to which can be added an almost infinite variety of C(omplements) (subject or verb) or A(dverbials) and to which other clauses can be coordinated or subordinated for a number of ethical or pathetic effect.
The revision conference sign-up sheet will be available beginning first lunch tomorrow (Wednesday), and you may only sign yourself up.
Check your class page for homework details (and check your classmates’ work on the east wall to see what you need to do to make the grade).
Peace out.
