We will take up the Orwell questions and then I want to talk to you about the essay you’ll be writing. It will be either argumentative or persuasive so first let’s review the difference between argumentative essay and a persuasive essay. I will say a statement and you decide whether that statement is representative of a persuasive essay or argumentative essay.
In groups, I will have you brainstorm what you have to do to write an effective persuasive essay or argumentative essay. Then we’ll talk about what you need to learn in order to meet those expectations.
Heads up: we will be doing a test where you have an essay sight passage and questions about rhetoric, logic, Orwell’s rules, thesis, supporting details. We will discuss a date for this.
