Students turned in vocabulary worksheet 169 ("Understanding Comics")and reading strategy worksheet 171 (Using Visuals as a Key to Meaning) at the beginning of class.
Mr. Stone explained logical appeals (specific to general and general to specific), appeals to emotion (using positive or negatively charged words), opinions supported by reasons and evidence, examples, facts, statistics,anecdotes, expert opinions, and opposing positions.
Students worked in groups to identify examples of each of these characteristics of a persuasive essay and to explain how it was accomplished in the Scott McCloud's visual essay, "Understanding Comics" (696-704). They recorded their examples on a table (literary analysis worksheet 172).
No homework was assigned.
