Objective:  I can write a rhetorical analysis paragraph for the anti-gun control position of Davidson by using an argumentative technique and two goals.

BW:  Read the exemplar.  Identify and list the argumentative tools being used.  Check your blue tool kit.

Activities:

  1.  Promethean Board:  Read aloud the exemplar and discuss how the writer uses the tools to develop the paragraph.
  2. Students will choose another paragraph in Davidson’s essay and find two goals that are accomplished by the writer’s technique of “Asking Questions.”
  3. Students will write a practice paragraph explaining how Davidson uses the technique of “Asking Questions” and two goals to support his claim against gun control.
  4. SSR:  Add inferences to your log in the back of your notebook.
