6th: Today we began class by watching a video about Hernan Cortes's conquest of the Aztec people in order to have a better understanding of indigenous and explorer perspectives for our RAFT. By the end of class, each student should have had an opinion statement with 3 reasons and a chosen role, audience, topic and format. From there, we worked on our study of adverbs. Each student found out where they would begin in the adverb study and we watched the adverb rocks video to create our definition of an adverb.
Homework: Read and record on bookmark.
7th: Today we began class by taking notes from a powerpoint about persuasive strategies. We learned about:
-using big names
-pathos (emotion)
-kairos (react now!)
-logos (numbers)
-ethos (trust me)
-using research
From there, students brainstormed about how they would use each of these persuasive techniques in their RAFTS. They were to come up with an example for each strategy. From there, we looked at an example persuasive letter and reverse outlined it, noting the role, audience, topic and format and the persuasive strategies used. Then we completed a reverse outline for the letter.
Homework: Read and record. Complete reverse outline of ACMS uniform letter and 6 examples for YOUR RAFT for the persuasive techniques.
