Kohlberg Cloze Notes
Understanding warrants through Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Reasoning
Begin reading excerpt from Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience"
As you read "Civil Disobedience":
1) Paraphrase/summarize Thoreau’s main idea after every paragraph by writing a brief sentence in the margins.
2) Underline the most compelling sentence(s) - find a part that is memorable or intriguing, and write why you find it compelling or intriguing on the back of the essay, or in the margin space at the end of the essay.
3) Find and label two rhetorical techniques.
HW: Finish reading Thoreau’s “Civil Disobedience” and completing steps 1-3 if not finished in class. Also please finish the Kohlberg homework assignment from Wednesday night (the sheet you wrote your sample scenario on--now you can complete the other questions).
