8/29

Warm-up:SUse your TASS book to determine the pattern of each sentence and explain why it fits that pattern.
S1. Walking into the classroom, the student felt eager to learn.
S2.  Busy has been the start of school.
S3.  Busier than usual, the start of school has been.


Classwork:  treasure hunt activity (getting to know you), go over quizzes, homework time for questions and guided practice


Homework:
Directions:  Reread pp. 6-21 in The Art of Styling Sentences.  For sentence patterns 1, 2, 3, and 4 (not 4a), choose at least TEN of the “Professional Examples” sentences to work with.
For each “Professional Example,”
1)      Briefly explain WHY the sentence is an example of the particular pattern.
2) Then, consider what Heinrichs might say about this sentence.  Does it seem to use ethos, logos, and/or pathos? If so, what type, and how? Does it appeal to values, assign blame, or call for the audience to make a choice? What other rhetorical tricks or strategies seem to be present in this sentence?  Is the sentence an argument or part of an argument of some kind?  If so, what does the author seem to WANT from his or her audience?
