1. Today is Friday October 28, 2016
The students will be able to develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on addressing what is most significant for a specific purpose and audience (CCSS.ELA.W.11.5).
Warm up: Define synecdoche and metonymy; give examples of each

HWK: Vocab chart due Monday, Modes writing due Tuesday, CH. 1-3 of Outliers due Wednesday, THMC due Thursday, Precis x2 due Friday

2. Synecdoche vs. metonymy
In practice, there isn't much difference: you could arguably pick just one of the terms and use it to describe both types of rhetorical substitution. (I like metonymy: it's easier to spell, more spelling checkers know it, and the meaning is more apparent to me: meta+name.)
The difference, to the extent that it exists at all, is whether the attribute that is substituting for the whole is part of the whole (synecdoche), or merely associated with it (metonymy). So "suits" instead of "officials" is metonymy (officials wear suits, but last I checked, the clothing is not permanently attached to their skin), while "hands" for "workmen" is synecdoche.
Maybe now the suits in Washington will listen. [metonymy] I liked to watch the track. [metonymy] Cleveland won by six runs. [synecdoche]

3. Selecting a Topic Draw a circle map In the center write- “topic ideas”
In the outside of the circle list topics that your are interested in- consider politics, religion, extra curricular, academic content areas, geographical locations, controversial topics
Now, for each one consider a subtopic and put those in parenthesis for each
Your topic should be specific enough that you have something to say, but generic enough that you can write in several different modes. Examples: shopping, a favorite sport, school, friends, teenagers, grades, parents, teachers, TV, movies, reading, dating, music, holidays, fashion, presidential elections, politics, religion, vegetarianism, health, food, nature, etc.

4. Now, pre- writing
For your topic, you will create various thinking maps- do not let the models limit you– those are minimums
Circle Map
Bubble Map
Double Bubble
Tree Map
Multi- Flow
Flow Map
Brace Map
You will have 3 minutes with each map before you pass them to a partner to add to.

5. Taking it to the Next Level
Choose one topic and answer the following questions in the frame of reference.
Upper Left Corner – What past experiences, existing knowledge, personal beliefs, or extracurricular interests might have influenced your decision to select these topics? This could affect your style choices, including tone, use of imagery and figurative language, and underlying arrangement, etc., which will ultimately affect your ability to fulfill your purpose and intention.
Upper Right Corner – Why did these topics stand out as particularly important topics for discussion, not just for you, but for your peers and adults who live in 2015? This speaks to the exigence of the topics. If you cannot determine that these are important topics for discussion in 2015 or for the young adult/adult community, you might want to add some more topics – do not erase what you’ve already written.
Lower Left Corner – How do you feel about these topics and why? This could eventually evolve into your stance and/or the claims you use to support your stance.
Lower Right Corner – Who else might be interested in these topics and why? Are they supporters of these topics or might they be on the opposing side of the ideas presented? This will be important when you consider your audience and when you address the counterargument during a group debate or in an argument essay.
