Today we finished listening to Michelle Obama's speech.  We discussed and took notes about her purpose/message and specific rhetorical strategies.  Go here to read and/or listen to it: Michelle Obama's Speech

Begin reading Chapter 2 of The Language of Composition.  You are responsible for all of the terms in bold found throughout this chapter.  Many of these terms already belong to the "non-negotiable" list of terms, so you should already be very familiar with them.  You will not be quizzed this week on any new terms; however, any non-negotiable terms and any from Chapter 1 might be on a quiz or two this week or next.  Always be prepared.

Good luck on the PSAT tomorrow!  Report to the gym at 8:40 a.m.  
Don't be late.
