1 “A City on a Hill” Always read the fine print! **Please take out GPS, MC, and Bradford prompt**

2 GPS – Ask me about my APHORISM!! A trite saying that captures a general truth “With great power comes great responsibility.” 1 – write your favorite aphorism from the HW MC 2 – Create your own aphorism 3- SHARE !!!!

3 Multiple Choice Review Share out your MC and Justifications with your teammates. (5 minutes) correct YOUR answers against the justification and score (2 min) A+ 11 A 10 B+ 9 B 8 C+ 7 C 6 D+ 5 D 4 E 3 and below

4 The Bradford Prompt What did you see?? What did I see?? What was Bradford’s attitude towards his subject? THINK COMPLEX Let’s look at THE RUBRICTHE RUBRIC Here are some past super stars !!!!!super stars Swap with a peer… look for the following…look for the following

5 Rubric 9/8 Is centralized by a generative thesis. Thesis is sophisticated and rhetorical. The writer persuasively connects Bradford’s use of language (word choice, omission, syntax, etc.) to Bradford’s morally and intellectually superior attitude towards the natives. These responses will acknowledge the inequity in the treaty and Bradford’s attitude shift from distrusting the natives to perceiving the natives as useful, yet inferior. These essays will be distinguished as superior for control of language, grammar, and style. They will exhibit rhetorical maturity and sophisticated analysis. 7/6 – still ids all parts of Bradford’s attitude/assumptions/shifts but may not be as sharp or clear. May not be as persuasive (lack strong data or warrants are weak) 5 – Ids MOST of Bradford’s attitude but may not have included assumptions or shift. Uses mostly data to prove and has warrants – may not be as developed or clear as a higher scoring essay. 4/3 – Ids Bradford’s attitude – may be vague or missing parts. Uses generalization or summary to try and prove Bradford’s attitude – lacks specific data and warrants are underdeveloped 2 – Sever misread of Bradford’s attitude. May be all summary – no connection of summary to Bradford’s attitude 1 – off topic

6 Bradford Prompt: Superstars!! Though William Bradford’s “Of Plymouth Plantation” was meant to be an account of life in the New World his diction and syntax refocused the piece as an implicit account of the Puritan degradation of Native Americans. 3 – sets up for a plot summary – no identification of complex attitude The Puritan people were extremely religious and based everything on religion. Through Bradford’s use of language, tone and syntax he reveals that he feels that the Indians are lesser people and that they are to be used to improve life for the Puritan people. 5/6 - identify Bradford’s attitude but doesn’t identify the shift. Also are not specific as to his attitude “lesser people” In the passage from “Of Plymouth Plantation” the author, William Bradford, uses diction and syntax to show that the Puritans viewed the Indians as inferior but essential aides. His diction reveals his assumptions that the natives are primitive, and he uses syntax to show the shift in Puritan attitudes over time. 8 – could be sharper BUT identifies ALL questions posed in the prompt (Bradford’s COMPLEX attitude)

7 Super Star – Data/warrant Bradford describes them as, “a special instrument sent of God,” and shows that they believe that God sent the Indians to help them succeed and that they are justified to use the natives in such a way. His word choice of “instrument” indicates that the Indians were useful, like tools, not human equals. Puritans saw them as ways to help them achieve their goals. From the wording of the rules that was set, “That if any of his did hurt to any of theirs, he should send the offender, that they may punish him”, one can see how the Puritans held themselves as the high court. The alliance fails to address what would happen if a Puritan were to harm an Indian. The author also demonstrated his low opinion of the Indians by, more often than not, addressing the Indians as “he” or “them”. This means that the author feels that Indians do not deserve the respect to be properly labeled. Data is too big – there is too much to say about all of that writing – need to break up the data and concentrate on the smaller parts one at a time.

8 Peer Review Read peers claim –Does it have an angle? –Is it specific enough? –Does it identify ALL parts of attitude? Highlight all DATA with one color – give feedback: -Is it DIDLS based?? -Is it a snippet or is it too long of a quote? -Is it a generalization that could be replaced with specific d? -Is it helping to prove the claim? Highlight the WARRANT with another color – give feedback: –Is it developed enough? –Is it connecting data to sub claim (explaining HOW data proves SC)? –Is it repetitive? –Is there more to be said about the data? Now write your peer a letter explaining what they did well and what they need to improve – explain in detail the comments you made on their paper. In the last sentence give them a score based off of the rubric.
