Friday was a busy day finishing up the Rationalist writers. We started by reading a piece of Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography and noting the number of times he used the pronoun "I". This piece we read discussed Franklin's plan to become perfect, which highlighted the Rationalists' belief that all people were born good and through hard work, could become perfect.
We then divided into groups and started working on reviewing for the upcoming test, by going back to look at the selections we read and discussing the emotion and rational appeal and giving examples.
For homework, students had to find the transcript of a speech online and print it out. They then had to highlight and label all the persuasive devices the speaker used. This was due on Monday.
