AGENDA 8/30

Review SOAPS and rhetorical situation, share SOAPS homework
Introduce Commonplace Books assignment
Introduce first few vocabulary words from The Boys in the Boat

Fantastic resource: Try using the dictionary at Vocabulary for all of your word analysis needs. It's a phenomenal way to look up new words!

HW: Select an article on the 2016 Rio Olympics: either a news article or op-ed piece, print or clip and bring to class tomorrow with a draft summary paragraph (step 3 from Commonplace Books handout). Write an example sentence or draw a picture for the words discussed in class today.
