Seminar Preparation:

2. At the very top of your document, write 3 questions (in bold, red text) that you will bring to our discussion. Your questions must do the following:
-One must refer directly to one of the 3 texts.
-One must ask your peers to connect specific ideas or quotes between 2 of the texts.
-One must incorporate a current event, another text (fiction or non-fiction) or personal experience (either refer to it in your question, providing background, or ask students about their own experiences).

We have been in school for nearly a month! Answer these 2 questions:
1. In what ways are you doing well in this class?
2. In what ways do you plan to work harder/improve (if any?)

Remember to submit to turnitin.com as well as here!

Work with a partner to highlight and label the parts of the classical argument in this text. Mark as done when.

Bring your book to class every day, starting today. Digital or hard copy.

Annotate your hard copy (I will hand it out in class on Wednesday)--note strategies, tone, and  break it into three sections. Label each section with a main idea.

Identify 3-5 elements of an effective speech in Adichie's "We Should All Be Feminists." What is the purpose and effect of each one? How is a speech (meant to be heard) different than a text that is meant to be read?



Then, choose an issue about which you are passionate (or passionate in a facetious way). Using the same elements you see in Adichie's speech, craft a short (1-minute max) speech where you incorporate those same rhetorical elements in order to persuade your audience (our class) to feel, think, or do something related to your argument. Your call to action should be clear, and your rhetorical elements should be highlighted or bolded in your written text. We will present these in class over the next week. Remember to consider your audience!
