1. READ the objective/student expectation for today. Re-write it in your own words in your spiral notebook. We will use the writing process to plan and write a persuasive essay. Warm up: Examine closely the thesis statements you wrote last week, and choose on that you would like to develop into a persuasive essay. September 10, 2012

2. Introduction A sentence or two of general information about the topic. Finish the paragraph with your THESIS STATEMENT (The claim or idea you will defend in your paper. This is your “I believe” statement.)

3. Example of Introduction Music is the universal language. It seems to speak to everyone, but different styles, songs, and artists appeal to different people. So because of their popularity and the statistics surrounding their music, it is easy to claim, as Rolling Stone does, that “The Beatles are the greatest musical act of all time.”

4. Body Paragraphs You must have a topic sentence to start your paragraphs. This will tell your reader what your paragraph is about. Use the “reasons” from your thesis statement to develop your topic sentence. The topic sentence may include a concession /counterargument

5. Example I recognize that there have been artists, such as Michael Jackson or Pink Floyd, whose individual albums have outperformed The Beatles; however, I must point out that when looking at the entire scope of their career, the number one records and album sales still indicate the dominance of The Beatles as the number one rock band of all time.

6. The red part indicates the beginnings of the concession and then the counterargument The purple part is the evidence that supports the claim

7. The Persuasive Essay – Evidence Evidence 1 to support claim, Example: The Beatles have sold over 500 million albums, with fifteen of the 100 best-selling songs and seven of the 100 best-selling albums to their credit. They have also had 20 number 1 hits. Be sure to include evidence to support each of your claims/reasons in your body paragraphs.

10. The Persuasive Essay - Conclusion Conclusion: This paragraph uses examples to support the claim. For example: One of John Lennon’s songs included the lyrics “all you need is love.” The fact that their music is still in demand demonstrates that the music-listening public has all the “love” The Beatles “need” to make them the greatest band ever.

27. Puritans • Unlike most of us today, the Puritans had few possessions, dressed uniformly, and frowned on creative expression. • Because they left so few personal belongings behind, they remain a mystery. • Their poems provide us with glimpses into their inner lives • They show the universal emotions individual Puritans experienced within the confines of their culture.

28. Puritan Plain Style • Writing style reflects the plain style of their lives – spare (denied self of pleasures), simple, straightforward. • The Puritan Plain Style is characterized by shortwords, direct statements, and references to ordinary, everyday objects. • Puritans believed that poetry should serve God by clearly expressing only useful or religious ideas. • Poetry appealing to the senses or emotions was viewed as dangerous.

29. Understanding Literary Works Puritan poetry often uses apostrophe- a figure of speech in which a speaker directly addresses a person who is dead or not physically present, a personified object, or non-human thing, or an abstract quality or idea. • Ex- Line 1 (Huswifery): Make me, O Lord, Thy spinning wheel complete.

30. Reading StrategyParaphrasing • Although these poems capture the simplicity of Puritan life, they are not necessarily simple to understand. • To help you better absorb the meaning of each poem, take time to paraphrase, or restate in your own words, the ideas expressed by each poet. • Because it helps to clarify meaning, paraphrasing will allow you to make accurate statements about each poet’s ideas. • Use your graphic organizer to help organize your paraphrases. (TPCASTT)

33. September 13, 2012 READ the objective/student expectation for today. Re-write it in your own words in your spiral notebook. We will examine the imagery as the implications of mood and tone in Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God. Warm up: Turn in your persuasive essay rough drafts, if you haven’t already done so. Read the Literary Analysis, Reading Skill, and Vocabulary sections of your textbook on pp. 84. What rhetorical devices does Edwards use in this sermon?

34. “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”by Jonathan Edwards English III KFHS

35. Sinners Excerpts P.87 (“This is the case…”) through (p.88 “It would be nothing to withstand or endure it.”) P.89 (“God stands ready…”) through (p.90 “to that great power and majesty.”) P.90 (“And now you have an extraordinary opportunity…”) to the end

36. Focus Activity Think about a time you tried to change someone’s mind. Did you use a gentle approach, scare tactics, or something in between? In your journal/on a piece of paper, write about a time when you tried to persuade someone to accept your point of view. How did you do it? How successful were you?

37. The Great Awakening In 1740 the well-known British evangelist George Whitefield joined with Jonathan Edwards to spark a religious revival that swept New England. The Great Awakening was a backlash against what many believed was a church that had grown far too lenient.

38. Edwards preached a return to Calvinism which stressed predestination, the belief that only a select few chosen by God would be saved. No individual could earn grace by doing good deeds, so everyone was equally powerless to control their own fate.

39. Cultural Note As a Calvinist, Jonathan Edwards believed that some people were favored by God and others were not. This belief was interpreted by some to mean that worldly success was a sign of God’s favor. Many believed that one way God rewarded people for their repentance and pious behavior was with earthly goods. What is wrong with this assumption?

44. Talk to the Hand Each finger represents one of the five senses (sight, touch, hearing, tasting, smelling) On each finger write two quotes from the text that appeal to the sense.
