Bellringer: Pd 8 Feb. 26 In your notes: How is King addressing his ethos in the first part of his letter? (If you were absent, then skim through the first three paragraphs and then answer. You have time, we have to wait for the announcements, so get started. No excuses.) (If your packet is not on your desk, then you didn’t submit it to the substitute as instructed. No, he didn’t lose it. You kept it and you earned a zero for the completion credit. Follow directions.)

Period 8 – Review “A Call for Unity” – get out this text. We’re not done with it. Review – Paragraphs 1 – 5. Pay attention. Many of you had incorrect responses or responses which were much too vague.

Ticket OUT Which rhetorical device (look at the unit bulletin board) does KING use most effectively in section 1 of the letter? Why? Go beyond restating the definition of the rhetorical device as the why – give evidence from his letter.

Ticket out Write your name and the paragraph where you stopped reading today. Which does King seem rely on at this point – ethos, logos, pathos and why? HOMEWORK: finish up through section 4.

Discussion: How does King create his ethos for his intended audience? Why can he not rely on his credentials and leadership roles? How does King create a logical argument throughout his response? How does King use pathos effectively? (effectively means not too much, not too little)
