Today’s agenda
• Finish film• Mystery questions• Theme statements• Miller article- SOAPSTone and rhetorical précis • “On Want of Money” essay review and
reflection
• Each group will receive an envelope with a question about The Crucible on it. Write the question and your well-developed answer on a whiteboard and present to the class.
Mystery Questions
• You will receive a subject- you must take this subject and create a theme statement for the subject. You must support your theme statement with three quotes from the play.
THEME STATEMENTS
Miller article
• SOAPSTone (group) & rhetorical précis (individual)
• Précis will be your first “real” writing grade• Score will be out of 10 points. Two points will
be awarded for each complete, accurate sentence; two points overall for impression and depth.
“On Want of Money”
• Reflection: Look at rubric and your score. Why do you think you received this score?
• What RIP words did you use? List them.• Make notes of any comments that indicate a
weakness you can improve upon.
Essay Weaknesses
• Most prevalent mistake: misreading the word “want” to mean desire, want, or need. “Want” as used by Hazlitt in this time period means “lack of” or “without.”
• Discussing how the rhetorical strategies affect the reader/audience rather than how they develop his position on money.
• Speaking for Hazlitt or for the reader/audience.• Using first and second person• Organization (conclusions)• Discussing ONLY appeals
Essay Strengths
• Much more analysis this time!• Identifying rhetorical strategies or devices,
although there is still some confusion about the difference between the two.
• Stronger introductions• Using what you learned from Thank You for
Arguing. However, decorum applies more to appearance and behavior, rather than written arguments.
