Objective: I can use my definitions of tone, some poetic tools, and logos to explain “how the text says it” for Brutus’s soliloquy.
BW: List these definitions: tone, metaphor, simile, personification, logos, and counterargument.
Activities:
- Promethean Board: As a whole class, students will identify each of the three counterargument chunks in Brutus’s soliloquy along with its corresponding argumentative tool(logos, metaphor, tone, etc.)
- Think Pair/Share: Students will explain how Brutus suggests each counterargument in his/her own words in the right column. In addition, they will explain the corresponding argumentative tool used to rebut each counterargument in the right column.
- Independent Study: Each student will write a response to Question #2(How does the text say it?) for Brutus’s soliloquy on pages 841 and 842.
- Reminders: Come after school for the worksheets for Cassius’s appeal and an explanation of the homework. Make-ups for the summary paragraph are after school on Wed.(1/11) or Thurs.(1/12) until 3 pm.
