Here are some reports from the teachers of each of our Composition classes for the last week in the Program. We have organized them by class:
Sophomore Composition (Ms. Stacey Simien, Instructor)
This week’s focus was on What is Rhetorical and the Art of Persuasive. Students began the week learning about ethos, logos, and pathos. They were assigned a topic then wrote an argumentative essay based on their stance on the issue. Then we spent some time learning about rhetorical analysis, by analyzing nytimes student written editorials and then wrote a rhetorical analysis of Steve Job’s Commencement Speech from 2005.
