AP Language Class Notes
Objective: APELCers processed a rhetorical action.
Juniors and seniors, you looked over four articles having to do with the mysterious circulation of a photo showing Barack Obama in Somali dress, its implications, and the accusations of malfeasance that followed:
- The piece that started the controversy, “Clinton Staffers Circulate Dressed Obama Picture”;
- “Obama Photo in Turban, Robe Causes Stir”;
- “Clinton accused of smear over Obama picture”; and
- “Poll: Obama Rises in Voter Popularity”.
We talked over the rhetoriity of physical action and image; you came to some conclusions about the (ostensible) act’s affects and effectiveness.
Check your class page for homework details.
