Objective:  I can identify lines of evidence in Brutus and Antony’s funeral speeches that match certain argumentative and poetic tools.

BW: Copy these definitions from the board:  Ethos, Pathos, Logos, Repetition, Metaphor, and Alliteration.

Activities:

  1.  List the argumentative and poetic tools in the right column near the matching piece of evidence.
  2. Think Pair/Share:  Link the evidence with the tool by drawing an area to connect them.
  3. Independent:  Write four lines of evidence for each of the three argumentative and/or poetic tools that you have selected for your topic paragraphs in your organizer.
  4. Reminder:  Complete your organizer with 12 pieces of evidence for the beginning of class tomorrow.  If you have not completed your paraphrasing of both speeches, ensure that this work is finished tomorrow, too.  You will need all of this preparatory work to write your essay.
