BW: Students will read through the given sentence stems for the response of “How does the text say it?”. After reviewing this prompt and your T-Chart notes, provide a response for these two items: 1. Restate the topic sentence in your own words. 2. What are three persuasive tools and their matching pieces of evidence that I can use?
Activities:
- Promethean: As a whole class, the first part of the paragraph will be written with the given sentence stems.
- Share Out: What is Brutus’s claim? What is his counterargument? What persuasive tool/evidence match can be used to rebut Brutus’s counterargument? Where is the reasoning applied? Which sentence restates or summarizes the first point? Where is the transition sentence?
- Write the response to “How does the text say it?” for Brutus’s soliloquy. You may use the given sentence stems as a guide or write it on your own more independently.

- Reminders: Make-up summaries for Cassius’s appeal will be given after school today and tomorrow until 3 pm. Plan on about a 1/2 hour to write it.
