AP Language and Composition
During today's class we studied over the practice multiple choice exam that we took and tried to reason through the answers to make sure we understood why the answer choices are what they are. After this, we annotated and diagrammed President George W. Bush's speech to the nation after the September 11 attacks.
Homework: Students are to write a paragraph detailing what President Bush's purposes are in the speech and which rhetorical strategies he uses to accomplish these purposes.
