For the reading I would you to mark the following, ethos, pathos, logos, rhetorical devices, and think about the rhetorical triangle.  

HW: Assata to page 160.

^^^^ The Rhetorical Triangle (Aristotle)

What in the World is Rhetoric???
Well, according to the book, rhetoric is "a thoughtful, reflective activity leading to effective communication, including rational exchange of opposing viewpoints." This to me sounds like the act of opening your mouth and conversing, or perhaps, debating with someone.  

KEY ELEMENTS:

-Context
The context is the occasion that the essay/speech was given. This can be somewhat like the setting of a story, and by knowing this, you can properly assess who the intended audience is and whether or not the context increases the effectivity of the piece. 
-Purpose
The goal that the speaker/writer/author wanted to achieve. This coincides with the context and allows the writer to choose the best possible audience in which to present the piece.
-Thesis/claim/assertion
This could be the 
-Subject
What the piece is about, the topic, y'know... so the author should have a very good grasp on what he/she/it wants to talk about in order to express the ideas/comments thoroughly and with as much consistency as possible.


Ethos:
     Ethos is the character of the writer or the speaker. Good ethos is when the writer presents his/her/itself as a classy individual while also coming off as "credible and trustworthy". Allowing the audience to connect with the author is something that really helps push the point across and deliver the best results for giving a great speech/rhetoric.

Logos:
     Logos is the appeal to logic/reason, by offering the audience clear and easy-ro-understand ideas that make as much sense as possible, while remaining rational. Presenting a main idea in a concise manner, showing another side/counterargument, credible statistics and facts, and/or expert testimony. (See "Things Fielding told us to include in Persuasive Essays.") 

Pathos:
     Pathos is the appeal to emotion. While this isn't something that should be emphasized as it can come off as propaganda which is not what you want. Appealing to the emotions means using vivid word choice that can easily stimulate the readers' thoughts and using the first-person perspective. 

The Classical Arrangement of Rhetoric:

1. Introduction (exordium)
-Brings the reader into the discussion, emerging them into the world of rhetoric. Introductions can be a couple short sentences, or several lengthy paragraphs (pages...!). Drawing the reader in is important (hook) and presenting the main idea (thesis statement) and stating the order of development. Normally, this is where the author would establish ethos. 
2. Narration (narratio)
-Factual information is presented and background information give the reader that much more insight into the subject. This is typically when you would begin to appeal to logos, yet it is smart to consider appealing to pathos as you are inclined to evoke an emotional response form the reader so that they can firmly decide on your opinion with the facts and statements you present.
3. Confirmation  (confirmatio)
-A large portion of the writing that sets up the proof of your argument and why the audience should agree. The details in this section should be strong and thorough, while making the biggest appeal to logos in this section. 
4. Refutation (refutatio)
-This part of the writing takes a look at the other side of the topic, the counterargument, if you want to call it that. Used as a "bridge between the writer's proof and conclusion" but also as appeal to ethos, as the audience can see that you are passionate enough about your subject that you chose to research both sides to get as informed as possible.
5. Conclusion (peroratio)
-Closing the essay, appealing to pathos one final time as well as connecting with ethos set up in the beginning of the piece. Instead of repeating what has already been said (guilty of this on several occasions... :l ), the writer's ideas should all get compacted into one and "answers the question, so what?" The last words are usually the ones that the audience is going to remember, so make them count. Throw it all out on the table and sum up the essay with as much intelligence as possible! 

Patterns of Development:
Authors can change their arrangement by writing in order of purpose. Each method of writing purposefully has its own way of organizing thoughts and piecing together all the little eccentricities neatly and professionally. 

Types of Essays We'll Be Writing:
Narration: Tells a story and recounts tales of slaying dragons and mystical creatures. Not really, but narration is typically a recollection of previous events, usually chronologically, or as a means to enter into the main idea of an essay.

Description: Much like narration and just as detailed (if not, more so), but the details focus more on the sensory responses from the readers. These include, the ways things taste, the sounds around the writer, textures and feelings, sights, colours, setting up an atmosphere for the piece. The descriptive language is a way to help make thoughts more approachable to the readers and helps in being more persuasive.
 
Process Analysis: An explanation. A how-to. The steps on how to achieve something or engage in a process. These can best be found in (according to the book) self-help books. Because these are going to help the way someone lives or acts, you must be as clear as possible in the instruction with smooth, flowing transitions as to not miss a step or confuse anyone.
 
Exemplification: Hopefully, this is readable... Facts, examples, testimonies are all ways to make an idea complete. With complete ideas, come more acceptable readers and easier persuasion. 
 
Comparison and Contrast: Highlighting similarities and differences in an organized fashion allows clear presentation of points that can be easy to digest for the audience. With careful analytics, the author can find interesting tidbits of information that could open up ideas to readers that otherwise couldn't be achieved, as well as highlighting both sides of an argument or multiple angles of a topic.
 
Classification and Division: Sorting information into how topics go together and why. Connections can be made between things that are seemingly unrelated and thus, like Comparison and Contrast, can reveal difference aspects to the reader that otherwise were unknown.
 
Definition: Defining something can allow more points to come through and allow "meaningful conversation". Example: (See what I'm doing here?) Let's talk about how awesome alligators are. But before we do this, we must DEFINE what counts as "awesome". Perhaps a dictionary definition.
 
Cause and Effect: Causes and Effects. Self explanitory... "The effects that result from a cause is a powerful foundation for argument." Seems legit.

Monday

Unit 1 - Here are the things you should know and be able to do

Essential Understandings:

 

1)    Individuals write within a particular situation and make strategic writing choices based on that situation.

2)    Writers make claims about subjects, rely on evidence that supports reasoning that justifies the claim, and often acknowledge or respond to other, possibly opposing arguments.

 

 

Skills

 

1)    Reading – identify and describe components of the rhetorical situation: the exigence (the reason for the writer or speaker to present the issue or problem), audience, writer, purpose, context, and message.

2)    Reading – identify and explain claims and evidence within an argument.

3)    Writing – Develop a paragraph that includes a claim and evidence supporting the claim.

 

Essential Knowledge:

 

1)    An audience of a text has shared as well as individual beliefs, values, needs, and backgrounds.

2)    Writers create texts within a particular context that includes time, place, and occasion.

3)    Writers convey their positions through one or more claims that require a defense.

4)    Writers defend their claims with evidence and/or reasoning.

5)    Types of evidence may include facts, anecdotes, analogies, statistics, examples, details, illustrations, expert opinions, personal observations, personal experiences, testimonies, or experiments.

6)    Effective claims provoke interest and require a defense, rather than simply stating an obvious, known fact that requires no defense or justification.

7)    Writers relate source material to their own argument by syntactically embedding particular quoted, paraphrased, or summarized information from one or more sources into their own ideas.

Syllabus

Note, some of the readings below will be changed as the class has already read them. 

INFO from the College Board: 

https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap22-frq-english-language.pdf

Rubrics: https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap-english-language-and-composition-ced-2020-scoring-guidelines.pdf

 

AP English Language and Composition

Instructor: Kent Fielding

Email: kfielding@skagwayschool.org

Course Overview:

The purpose of this course is to help students “write effectively and confidently in their college courses across the curriculum and in their professional lives.” (The College Board, AP English Course Description p. 6)  In addition the purpose of the course is to “emphasize the expository, analytical and argumentative writing that forms the basis of academic and professional communication” (p. 6).  In order to do this the class will read/explore various nonfiction writing that offer students a chance to explain the authors’ use of rhetorical strategies and techniques.  These readings provide models for the student’s own writing.  As defined by David Jolliffe, a former AP exam creator, AP English Language and Composition is a college-level course examining rhetoric as “the art of finding and analyzing all the choices involving language that a writer, speaker, reader, or listener might make in a situation so that the text becomes meaningful, purposeful, and effective for readers or listeners, and examining the specific features of texts, written or spoken that cause them to be meaningful, purposeful, and effective for readers or listeners in a situation.”  In addition to readings students will be required to analyze graphs, political cartoons, photographs, and video media weekly.  They will also be required to keep a blog to record their reactions to media and to post “short writes”, précises and prewriting work. 

 

Learners Goals:  By the end of the course students will understand

·      the main point or thesis, the occasion or context, the motivation, the tone and style of a piece of writing

·      how a text is created to develop meaning and purpose including genre, organization, and syntax

·      the relationship of text’s creation to its accomplishment, meaning and effect

·      how to articulate an analysis of what they read

·      how to create, develop and support an argument, acknowledging the complexities and nuances of important issues that adults argue about in contemporary intellectual circles

·      that good citizenship is about being aware of public discourse issues

·      how to develop a thesis and argument or exposition by synthesizing information from many places into their writing

·      how to analyze visual texts and use this analyzes in their own writing

·      how to cite information in proper MLA format

(Many of these goals come directly from successful AP teacher, Mr. Rolf M. Gunnar, http://www.mrgunnar.net).

Writing Assignments

Most of following writing assignments will be developed, reviewed and discussed, in class but primarily written outside of class.  Each essay will go through many drafts that will be feature a self-evaluation, a peer review and a teacher-student review. 

·      

·      Real World Analysis/Oration: Students read current event articles and research an issue or problem of their interest and write an analysis or an oration concerning it.  These will be presented to a larger audience..

·      Synthesis Essay: Students synthesize materials from a number of sources (including visual) to develop an argument and compose an argumentative essay.

·      Research Essay.  To help students understand the process of conducting research, gathering and synthesizing information from a variety of sources, and incorporating MLA citation. 

·      Analytical Essay: Students compose a rhetorical analysis from a prompt focusing on one of their readings.

·     
MODES Project (developed by Valerie Stevenson and presented at the AP by the Sea Summer Institute in San Diego, July 2012): This project allows students to explore six modes of writing – narration, analysis, compare and contrast, classification, definition, and persuasion – first by reading essays and writing rhetorical précis on each mode, and then by choosing one topic and writing an essay from each mode on that topic.

In addition to the above essays, students will write In-class Timed essays, responding to AP or AP-like prompts.  Initially, these timed essays will be shared in groups and revised.  As the year progresses, the essays will be discussed and assessed but without the ability to revise. 

Vocabulary:

Students will be given bi-weekly vocabulary based on SAT words and words from assignment readings. 

Grammar/Structure/Style:

Students will review and use in their writing transitions, various types of phrases (appositive phrases, participial phrases, absolute phrases), parallelism,   various types of sentence structures (simple, complex, compound, complex-compound, periodic), irony, metaphor, alliteration, simile, hyperbole, litotes, among others.   

Strategies:

To help students analysis both written and visual materials they we learn various strategies including SOAPSTone (developed by Tommy Boley); Rhetorical Precis writing and checklist (developed by Chris Baris, Mark Frerichs, Therese Frerichs and Valerie Stevenson); Syntax Analysis Chart; Dialectical Journal writing; and, Overview-Parts-Title-Interrelationships-Conclusion (OPTIC).  Each of these is described in more detail at the end of this syllabus.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

1)   Student will read “Resources for Writing” (Thematic Unit – The Internet) in their Riverside Reader pages 549 – 649.

The purpose of this aspect of the assignment is to further their understanding of seven different rhetorical modes of development and to show them a model for the writing project that they will be doing.  Reading the selections, which are all on the same topic, the Internet, but which utilize the various “modes of development”.

2)   Read two additional essays of their choice of each mode and write a précis (posted on their blog) for each.  These readings should come from The Riverside Reader.  While students are doing this aspect of the project the class will be studying and working with various modes in class.

3)   Write six papers on the same topic, each in a different mode. 

Each paper should clearly demonstrate the distinct characteristics of the mode.  Before writing the student should review the different chapters for tips on purpose, audience, strategies, and in some cases, potential pitfalls.  Especially important will be the “Points to Remember” charts handed out during the writing.

Students will choose a topic that is well known and interesting to them and broad enough that they can readily adapt it to six different treatments:  1) narration, 2) analysis, 3) compare and contrast, 4) classification, 5) definition, and 6) persuasion

Topics that have be suggested include: shopping, a favorite sport, school, friends, teenagers, grades, parents, teacher, TV, movies, reading, dating, music, holidays, fashion, presidential elections, politics, religion, vegetarianism, health, food or cooking, nature, etc.

Each paper should be approximately 500 words, labeled with the mode of development, double-spaced, typed, have a creative title, and a word count at the end.

Total project should be approximately 3000 words.

Each paper will be work-shopped in a group setting and discussed 1-1 with teacher.

Journals: During this quarter journals will function as a writer’s journal.  Students will be required to post pre-writing, reflections, comments on the writing process, ideas and concerns.  During this quarter, students will be writers fully engaged in the writing process.  Three blogs entries will be due each week.
