Please type your responses to each of the following questions. You are expected to cite textual evidence for at least TWO responses per chapter. It is essential to write your responses as complete sentences. Restate the question if necessary to ensure you are writing in complete sentences. You must include the author’s last name as well as the page number where your textual evidence is found; this is referred to as in-text citation. Please note: An example is provided for you for the first question. For this reason, you do not have to complete question #1 for Chapter One. 
Sample Question and Response: 
Is the narrator of the book an adult or a child?  ANSWER EXAMPLE WITH TEXTUAL EVIDENCE


The narrator of To Kill a Mockingbird is the adult Jean Louise (Scout) Finch. Jean Louise tells the story of how her older brother, Jem, broke his arm when he was nearly 13 years old. She notes, “When enough years had gone by to enable us to look back on them, we sometimes discussed the events leading to his accident” (Lee 3).  Scout recalls the incidents leading up to Jem’s injury in retrospect and recounts her childhood as an adult.

Each student will receive a rhetorical triangle. Using your new knowledge of ethos, logos, and pathos, review Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Look for examples of each rhetorical appeal within King’s speech. In partner groups, you will need to locate one example of each appeal, but I encourage you to note more as you analyze the text. You and your partner can share the same quotes and explanations, but you must both record them on your individual sheet. In each labeled triangle, you must include the following:
Quote from Dr. King’s speech (including in-text citation)
Explanation of how King’s words are an example of the specific rhetorical appeal

Please type and submit your constructed response, as well as your answers to the multiple choice questions, on the attached blank Google document.

With a partner, you will be expected to complete 4 of the 7 questions listed on the handout. Each group must complete question #1. Then, choose three more questions to complete. As you respond to your questions, be sure your answers are written in complete sentences. Be prepared to share your responses with the entire class in a whole class discussion.

As you read John F. Kennedy's 1961 Inaugural Address, consider Kennedy’s purpose and how he uses rhetoric to advance that purpose. In addition, reflect on the SOAPSTone strategy you have studied and be prepared to share what you learned about the speaker, occasion, audience, purpose, subject, and tone during your second read by completing a SOAPSTone analysis as well as text-dependent questions. The assignment is attached. You will be expected to type your SOAPSTone analysis (complete sentences), your answer choices for the multiple choice questions, and your constructed response in one separate Google Doc that is also attached. 


Question 7 is a constructed response. This should be a lengthy paragraph addressing Kennedy’s purpose in the speech. Use specific evidence from the speech to support your answer. You must cite two quotes. Explain HOW each quote ties in directly with Kennedy’s purpose and WHY it is significant. Sentence starters using present tense:

John F. Kennedy’s main purpose in his 1961 inaugural address is to . . . 
Kennedy states, “Let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved” (paragraph 20).
Kennedy emphasizes . . .
His words are significant because . . .
By using antithesis, Kennedy shows the contrast between . . . and enforces the idea that . . .
