Introduce first handful of vocabulary words from The Scarlet Letter: powerpoint with images and vocabulary chart
Read-Aloud of The Two Bobbies and model SOAPSTone method for rhetorical note-taking
Introduce rhetorical historical analysis paper and share tips for selecting topics--not too broad, works best if the event is controversial, must be a clear *event* and not a person's life...anything from the beginning of recorded human history to last week is up for grabs (except Hurricane Katrina). Think about topics that you connect to personally or that you are genuinely invested in/passionate about.
HW: Select three historical events that you're intrigued by, and write a one-sentence justification for each. Know that I will only accept one or two papers on each topic, so make sure your justification argues why you would be the BEST student to write that particular paper. We're choosing topics tomorrow!
