Monday, March 2 - Elements of Persuasion vs Manipulation /

Objective: By the end of class, students will analyze rhetorical devices and make distinctions based on the connotations of words in order to improve reading interpretive skills.

Do  Now

Finish the five questions from Friday if you didn't. 

If you did, add onto plot structure. Remember, all of ACT 2 is part of the RISING ACTION. Act 3 is the Climax. We di not read any of ACT 3 yet but I did show you the murder scene. That is in the first scene of ACT 3 and therefore, part of the climax.
