10th Grade English Tuesday 15 Oct. 2013 AGENDA: READ BRUTUS’S FUNERAL SPEECH READ ANTONY’S SPEECH MINI-LESSON ON READING WITH EXPRESSION PREPARE PERFORMANCE HOMEWORK: STUDY ACT III VOCABULARY FOR 20 MINUTES TONIGHT.

Brutus v. Antony We’ll read Brutus’s speech together. Listen as I model voice inflection. You will be using voice inflection for Antony’s speech today. Read Antony’s speech on your own.

Learning Targets I can label and quote emotions that Antony plays up in his funeral oration. I can identify repetition, ethos and pathos in Antony’s funeral speech. I can analyze how Antony uses repetition, ethos and pathos to manipulate the crowd.

Reading with expression The cat got away. Angry Scared Bored Sad Amused What did students do to their voices to convey the different expressions?

Reading with expressions A great way to practice reading with expression is choral reading. Choral reading is when many students read the same lines together. The strong readers in the group provide a model of correct pacing, tone, and voice for the struggling readers. In choral reading, students will need to speak slowly and enunciate words clearly.

Reading with expressions Divide class into 7 groups Working within your groups, students should determine the emotion Antony feels (or pretends to feel) and the appropriate expression to use. Please answer the 4 questions from the handout in your journal. Remember to put 15 Oct. 2013 on the first line! Reminder of the rhetorical appeals: ethos, pathos and repetition. Underline words you would like to emphasize and stress in your own delivery of the speech.

Reading with expressions Practice, practice, practice! We will have a class competition to see which group reads with the most appropriate and best emotional inflection of the voice! All group members must perform in the choral reading of your assigned lines.

Journals Please put today’s date on the first line: 15 Oct. 2013 Label this Journal: “Strategies for Ethos, Pathos and Logos”

LOGOS: Definition Logos An appeal to logic and reason Example: School uniforms should be required because it would then be easier for staff to recognize intruders.

LOGOS Strategies Evidence Organization Examples and illustrations Facts, statistics Precedents, laws Organization Process Comparison/contrast Division/classification Cause/effect Definition, description

PATHOS: Definition Pathos An appeal to emotional reaction Example: School uniforms should be required because it alleviates students’ fear of looking different and being picked on because of their clothes. Suzy Jo McGuillicutty retells the story of when she was made fun of and beaten up because she wore the same blouse two days in a row. Sobbing, she conjures up painful memories of not fitting in.

PATHOS Strategies Inspiring feeling/empathy/sympathy Anger, pride, guilt, love, shame, hope, etc. Awareness of opposition Awareness of audience's cultural and emotional background Race, age, sex, physical characteristics, habits Economic or educational level Religious or political affiliation Ethnicity, country of birth, citizenship, location Awareness of audience concerns Needs, values, beliefs of groups audience belongs to

ETHOS: Definition Ethos An appeal based on your own credibility. Example: In my own observations as a student teacher at Waldo Middle School in Salem, Oregon, I discovered that on “uniform days,” behavior referrals decreased to nearly none, whereas on “dress free days”, referrals spiked to as much as ten times as many.

ETHOS Strategies Credibility (common sense) Character (virtue) Familiarity with subject Awareness of broad perspective Character (virtue) Respect others' values Value welfare of others Show integrity, trustworthiness, open-mindedness Confidence (good will) Show self-understanding Understand audience’s needs Treat audience as equal

AS WE PROCEED… Evaluate Brutus and Anthony’s funeral speeches Which methods of persuasion do they use? Logos, pathos, ethos? Within these methods, what rhetorical/literary devices are used to support their arguments Verbal Irony: speaker says one thing but means the exact opposite Rhetorical Questions: a question asked to produce an effect, not to elicit a response Connotation: an idea or feeling that a word invokes in addition to its literal meaning Repetition: repeating a word or phrase to produce an effect
