1. READ the objective/student expectation for today. Re-write it in your own words in your spiral notebook. We will use the writing process to plan and write a persuasive essay. Warm up: Examine closely the thesis statements you wrote last week, and choose on that you would like to develop into a persuasive essay. September 10, 2012

2. Introduction A sentence or two of general information about the topic. Finish the paragraph with your THESIS STATEMENT (The claim or idea you will defend in your paper. This is your “I believe” statement.)

3. Example of Introduction Music is the universal language. It seems to speak to everyone, but different styles, songs, and artists appeal to different people. So because of their popularity and the statistics surrounding their music, it is easy to claim, as Rolling Stone does, that “The Beatles are the greatest musical act of all time.”

4. Body Paragraphs You must have a topic sentence to start your paragraphs. This will tell your reader what your paragraph is about. Use the “reasons” from your thesis statement to develop your topic sentence. The topic sentence may include a concession /counterargument

5. Example I recognize that there have been artists, such as Michael Jackson or Pink Floyd, whose individual albums have outperformed The Beatles; however, I must point out that when looking at the entire scope of their career, the number one records and album sales still indicate the dominance of The Beatles as the number one rock band of all time.

6. The red part indicates the beginnings of the concession and then the counterargument The purple part is the evidence that supports the claim

7. The Persuasive Essay – Evidence Evidence 1 to support claim, Example: The Beatles have sold over 500 million albums, with fifteen of the 100 best-selling songs and seven of the 100 best- selling albums to their credit. They have also had 20 number 1 hits. Be sure to include evidence to support each of your claims/reasons in your body paragraphs.

8. The Persuasive Essay - Transitions Transitions are necessary so that your paper flows: (transitions to support your claim) For instance, … For example, … In addition, … Additionally, … Besides, … Furthermore, … Likewise, … Also, …

9. The Persuasive Essay - Transitions Transitions are necessary so that your paper flows: (transitions to address reader’ concerns) -Some may argue that … -Some people may argue that … -Some may say that … -Some people may say that … -You may think … -Some people think … -An opposing viewpoint is … -A down side to this is … -Readers could argue that … -One could argue that …

10. The Persuasive Essay - Conclusion Conclusion: This paragraph uses examples to support the claim. For example: One of John Lennon’s songs included the lyrics “all you need is love.” The fact that their music is still in demand demonstrates that the music-listening public has all the “love” The Beatles “need” to make them the greatest band ever.

11. The Persuasive Essay - Conclusion Conclusion strategies you can use: Ask a pertinent question illustrate a main point with a quotation present a vivid and memorable image provide an accurate and useful analogy offer a final illustration dismiss an opposing idea predict future consequences call for further action return to a scene anecdote from the introduction.

17. An Introduction to the Puritans

18. What do you think Puritan means? Where have you heard this word before?

19. Make a KWL chart KnowWant to knowLearned

20. What does this picture tell of Puritan life?

21. What does this picture tell of Puritan life? What does the color scheme tell you about the picture?

22. The Puritans were a significant grouping of English Protestants who lived in the 16th and 17th centuries. Their mission was to PURIFY the church and rid it of all rituals and practices that were not expressly written in the Bible.

23. Puritans believed the Church of England was corrupt.

27. Puritans Unlike most of us today, the Puritans had few possessions, dressed uniformly, and frowned on creative expression. Because they left so few personal belongings behind, they remain a mystery. Their poems provide us with glimpses into their inner lives They show the universal emotions individual Puritans experienced within the confines of their culture.

28. Puritan Plain Style Writing style reflects the plain style of their lives – spare (denied self of pleasures), simple, straightforward. The Puritan Plain Style is characterized by short words, direct statements, and references to ordinary, everyday objects. Puritans believed that poetry should serve God by clearly expressing only useful or religious ideas. Poetry appealing to the senses or emotions was viewed as dangerous.

29. Understanding Literary Works Puritan poetry often uses apostrophe- a figure of speech in which a speaker directly addresses a person who is dead or not physically present, a personified object, or non-human thing, or an abstract quality or idea. Ex- Line 1 (Huswifery): Make me, O Lord, Thy spinning wheel complete.

30. Reading Strategy Paraphrasing Although these poems capture the simplicity of Puritan life, they are not necessarily simple to understand. To help you better absorb the meaning of each poem, take time to paraphrase, or restate in your own words, the ideas expressed by each poet. Because it helps to clarify meaning, paraphrasing will allow you to make accurate statements about each poet’s ideas. Use your graphic organizer to help organize your paraphrases. (TPCASTT)

31. Vocabulary recompense: n. Repayment; something given or done in return for something else. manifold: adv. In many ways, having many features or forms persevere: v. persist; be steadfast in purpose, doesn’t give up. quench: v. to put out, destroy, or put an end to

32. Who are the Puritans? – EXIT ticket Write down three things you learned about the Puritan life. (one a post-it note) Write down two things you found interesting. (in your journal) Write down one thing you didn’t understand. (in your journal)

33. READ the objective/student expectation for today. Re-write it in your own words in your spiral notebook. We will examine the imagery as the implications of mood and tone in Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God. Warm up: 1. Turn in your persuasive essay rough drafts, if you haven’t already done so. 2. Read the Literary Analysis, Reading Skill, and Vocabulary sections of your textbook on pp. 84. What rhetorical devices does Edwards use in this sermon? September 13, 2012

34. “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” by Jonathan Edwards English III KFHS

35. Sinners Excerpts P.87 (“This is the case…”) through (p.88 “It would be nothing to withstand or endure it.”) P.89 (“God stands ready…”) through (p.90 “to that great power and majesty.”) P.90 (“And now you have an extraordinary opportunity…”) to the end

36. Focus Activity Think about a time you tried to change someone’s mind. Did you use a gentle approach, scare tactics, or something in between? In your journal/on a piece of paper, write about a time when you tried to persuade someone to accept your point of view. How did you do it? How successful were you?

37. The Great Awakening In 1740 the well-known British evangelist George Whitefield joined with Jonathan Edwards to spark a religious revival that swept New England. The Great Awakening was a backlash against what many believed was a church that had grown far too lenient.

38. Edwards preached a return to Calvinism which stressed predestination, the belief that only a select few chosen by God would be saved. No individual could earn grace by doing good deeds, so everyone was equally powerless to control their own fate.

39. Cultural Note As a Calvinist, Jonathan Edwards believed that some people were favored by God and others were not. This belief was interpreted by some to mean that worldly success was a sign of God’s favor. Many believed that one way God rewarded people for their repentance and pious behavior was with earthly goods. What is wrong with this assumption?

41. Literary Elements Repetition – The recurrence of sounds, words, phrases, lines, or stanzas in a speech or piece of writing. Repetition increases the sense of unity in a work and can call attention to particular ideas.

42. Literary Elements Metaphor – a figure of speech that compares or equates two seemingly unlike things. In contrast to a simile, a metaphor implies the comparison instead of stating it directly; hence there is no use of connectives such as like or as.

43. Literary Elements Imagery – The “word pictures” that writers create to evoke an emotional response. In creating effective images, writers use sensory details.

44. Talk to the Hand Each finger represents one of the five senses (sight, touch, hearing, tasting, smelling) On each finger write two quotes from the text that appeal to the sense.

45. Literary Elements Sensory details – Evocative words or phrases that appeal to one or more of the five senses—sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste.

46. Selection Vocabulary Brimstone- sulfer Wrath – extreme anger; vengeful punishment Constitution- The composition or structure of something; makeup. Prudence- exercising good judgment or common sense Sovereign- supreme and unrestricted power Chaff- The dry bracts enclosing mature grains of wheat and some other cereal grasses, removed during threshing

47. Omnipotent- One having unlimited power or authority Dolorous- Marked by or exhibiting sorrow, grief, or pain Vexation- The act of annoying, irritating, or vexing. Sodom- A city of ancient Palestine possibly located south of the Dead Sea. In the Bible, it was destroyed along with Gomorrah because of its wickedness and depravity.

52. Visualize the Story As you read, visualize the faces on the congregation as they listen to the speech. How might they react? Could their outward reactions tell how they are reacting inwardly?

53. “…indeed these things are nothing; if God should withdraw his hand, they would avail no more to keep you from falling, than the thin air to hold up a person that is suspended in it.” (Edwards 102)

54. “all your righteousness, would have no more influence to uphold you and keep you out of hell, than a spider’s web would have to stop a falling rock.” (Edwards 88)

55. “The wrath of God is lie great waters that are damned for the present; they rise higher and higher, till an outlet is given; and the longer the stream is stopped, the more rapid and might is its course, when once it is let loose.” (Edwards 88)

56. “The bow of God’s wrath is bent, and the arrow made ready on the string, and justice bends the arrow at your heart, and strains the bow, and it is nothing but the mere pleasure of God, and that of an angry God, without any promise or obligation at all, that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood. (Edwards p.88)”

57. Repetition Edwards repeats the idea of God’s wrath several different ways. What effect does this have? It emphasizes that there is nothing the natural man can do to save himself.

58. Allusion Edward encourages his congregation: “Let everyone fly out of Sodom!” (Edwards 91) How is this an allusion? The city of Sodom is believed to have been destroyed by God because nearly everyone in the city was living sinfully. Obviously this congregation does not live in Sodom, so Edwards uses the term to stand for all conditions of sinful living.

59. READ the objective/student expectation for today. Re-write it in your own words in your spiral notebook. We will examine McCarthyism and how it relates to the Salem Witch trials and begin Act 1 of the Crucible. Warm up: Read the Words of Arthur Miller on The Crucible on pp. 1120. What insights did you gain about the play we’re about the read? Name at least two. September 14, 2012

60. 60 Second Recap Video

61. McCarthyism, Witch Hunts and The Crucible Actual Meaning: The search for witches or evidence of witchcraft, often involving moral panic, mass hysteria, and lynching. Think: Salem Witch Trials of 1692-1693 Metaphor: Moral panics in general, especially the frantic persecution of perceived enemies. Think: Second Red Scare and McCarthyism “Witch-Hunt”

62. McCarthyism Background Communism: The economic and social movement which aims for a classless society in which everyone owns everything. Emerged in Russia in the late 19th Century and reached around 75,000 members in the United States in 1940-1941. Cold War: Following World War II, the United States and Russia, allies against Germany, Japan, and Italy, became adversaries. Each country played the game of one-upsmanship, trying to outdo each other in weaponry, technology, and world control. Spies were used extensively in both countries.

63. McCarthyism Definition: the practice of making accusations of disloyalty, especially of pro-communist activity, in many instances unsupported by proof or based on slight, doubtful, or irrelevant evidence. During this era, thousands of Americans were accused of being communist sympathizers and were forced to undergo investigations and questioning before government or private-industry panels. Hundreds were imprisoned and 10,000 to 12,000 people lost their jobs.

64. Joseph McCarthy Republican U.S. senator from Wisconsin. In 1950, during a speech in West Virginia, McCarthy produced a piece of paper of “known communists” working for the government. Led the anti- Communist crusade known as the Second Red Scare.

65. House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) While McCarthy did not lead HUAC, which was created prior to WWII, his anti-Communist crusade allowed the committee to investigate the Hollywood film industry. “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?” Witnesses who refused to answer were sent to jail, while those who claimed their Fifth Amendment rights (refusal to testify against oneself) were fired from their jobs. Witnesses were required to either incriminate themselves or name someone they know or believe to be a Communist.

66. Senate Committees McCarthy headed a Senate committee charged with investigating suspected Communists. He investigated the Voice of America (a radio station broadcast overseas) and the U.S. Army His investigation of the Army and subsequent live hearings led to the dropping of McCarthy’s popularity. Journalist Edward R. Murrow did an investigative report of McCarthy on See It Now, a precursor to 60 Minutes, which ultimately led to McCarthy’s downfall.
