Assignments: Tuesday, January 31, watch President Bush's State of the Union Address. Below I have copied a preview piece about what he might cover in his address.
In a narrative essay response: analyze the speech. Consider: What is his thesis? What are Bush's key points? What evidence supports these claims? Are you convinced? Why or why not?
Media savvy student take into consideration the president's's motives: Is his aim altruistic or selfish? What are his motives, what does he have to gain or lose from each issue he proposes?
All level classes respond in 250-500 words. The essay is due for 201 students on Wednesday. For English 1A students at the next class meeting.
If you have immediate comments, please post them here for peer response.
