Swap out your AP practice from last week with the new one for this week. If you’re wondering why we aren’t going over the “weekly two”, very observant of you. However, it is second semester, so you should be astute enough to seek out your own answers and develop understanding independently. 12 January 2015 Today’s Agenda: 1.AP Practice Swap Out 2.Rhetorical Quiz on “Surgeon as Priest” by Richard Selzer HMWK: AP Practice #10 DUE on Friday, 1/16/15 Product Work Log (Progress Check #2) DUE tomorrow, 1/13/15 by MIDNIGHT! Completely analyze its rhetorical value of Danielewski for tomorrow’s class!

1.) What are the two dominant rhetorical devices present in the first section of “Surgeon as Priest”? What are their purposes? “The Surgeon as Priest” by Richard Selzer

2.) How could Selzer’s style in the first section be described? How does Selzer employ such a unique and evocative style? “The Surgeon as Priest” by Richard Selzer

3.) How does Selzer’s style in the second section differ from the first section? What is the purpose behind such a pronounced stylistic shift? “The Surgeon as Priest” by Richard Selzer

4.) Why is the fourth section of this excerpt commonly thought to be the most memorable of the piece? How does this section connect to all three of the rhetorical appeals? “The Surgeon as Priest” by Richard Selzer

5.) What is the purpose of the fifth section of the excerpt? How does the fifth section allow the reader to more fully understand the final example Selzer presents? “The Surgeon as Priest” by Richard Selzer

Before you leave, copy down this excerpt. Completely analyze its rhetorical value for tomorrow! “Who has never killed an hour? Not casually or without thought, but carefully: a premeditated murder of minutes. The violence comes from a combination of giving up, not caring, and a resignation that getting past it is all you can hope to accomplish. So you kill the hour. You do not work, you do not read, you do not daydream. If you sleep it is not because you need to sleep. And when at last it is over, there is no evidence: no weapon, no blood, and no body. The only clue might be the shadows beneath your eyes or a terribly thin line near the corner of your mouth indicating something has been suffered, that in the privacy of your life you have lost something and the loss is too empty to share.” - Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves 12 January 2015

Put your work on your desk; Mr. Ingham will be around to take pictures. Your analysis will be analyzed during today’s class and assigned a grade based on the AP scale. After all, we are working on rhetorical analysis and our understanding of semantic and syntactical constructions. 13 January 2015 Today’s Agenda: 1.The Essentials of Rhetorical Analysis – SOAPSTone, the 3 Appeals, Semantics, and Syntax 2.Rhetorical Quiz on “Surgeon as Priest” by Richard Selzer HMWK: AP Practice #10 DUE on Friday, 1/16/15 Product Work Log (Progress Check #2) DUE TONIGHT by MIDNIGHT!

“Who has never killed an hour? Not casually or without thought, but carefully: a premeditated murder of minutes. The violence comes from a combination of giving up, not caring, and a resignation that getting past it is all you can hope to accomplish. So you kill the hour. You do not work, you do not read, you do not daydream. If you sleep it is not because you need to sleep. And when at last it is over, there is no evidence: no weapon, no blood, and no body. The only clue might be the shadows beneath your eyes or a terribly thin line near the corner of your mouth indicating something has been suffered, that in the privacy of your life you have lost something and the loss is too empty to share.”

Get your assigned laptop, login, go to your snapshots, and choose the one that you believe is the best (or the one that, for you, carries the most emotional weight). Then, with new eyes, analyze it as we have been analyzing the essays and excerpts over the past week and a half. Make comments, highlight and underline, and generally analyze the essence of your writing. You have 30 minutes. 14 January 2015 Today’s Agenda: 1.Analysis of ONE of Your Snapshot Paragraphs 2.Modes of Discouse – Purpose and Application HMWK: AP Practice #10 DUE on Friday, 1/16/15 Read and analyze the Letter from the Alabama Clergymen and King’s response, “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, for Friday, 1/16/15

As you did yesterday, get your assigned laptop, login, go to your snapshots. Make sure that what you did yesterday is what you absolutely intend for your audience. Today, we will examine these pieces and closely scrutinize them and their rhetorical value. 15 January 2015 Today’s Agenda: 1.Analysis of Snapshot Paragraphs Written by the Class 2.Needs For Tomorrow HMWK: AP Practice #10 DUE on Friday, 1/16/15 Read and analyze the Letter from the Alabama Clergymen and King’s response, “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, for TOMORROW!

Have your work on King on your desk and respond to the following questions: How do individuals build a broader and more complete understanding of the world that surrounds them? 16 January 2015 Today’s Agenda: 1.Orwell, Selzer, and King; Steinbeck, Lovercraft, and Danielewski 2.Justifying Our Perspectives of the World and How It’s Shaped HMWK: Begin planning your response to the following question: What have you come across in your life that has not been what it initially seemed to be?
