Outside of today, there will be limited time to work on this project in class. This means that there is a level of trust and academic maturity required to meet the demands. If you wait until the last few days to complete the analysis of the writer, the project will suffer as your analysis will be weak as will your Apprentice essay. On the flip side, keeping a disciplined regiment of analysis of a new editorial piece every 1-2 days will pay off as you will be less stressed and will allow for a proper reflection on the technique of your writer. This reflection will make the drafting of the Apprentice essay smooth.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now we enter into Phase 2 of the project. Here we will simulate the research and process of creating the materials for a thoughtful synthesis essay. </span><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This will include focused research that requires critical thinking regarding the inclusion of evidence you will use for your eventual synthesis essay. Your research will be excerpted into a Google Classroom Template. These are very easy steps meant to free you up so that you can drill down on the creative connections necessary for solid research and rich connections among your sources. </span></span></div>

Crafting a prompt will be almost too easy; however, the formation of your synthesis needs to be on your mind as you assemble your evidence. Which of these issues from the book appear the most interesting and rich enough for research? So start here by laying out several possible threads for debate. Remember that this is a very fluid process this early in the research. I will help you hone this question over the next few days.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Let's revisit your question and think how it might fit into any of these possible synthesis prompt templates:</span><br />

<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 1.15;">
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline;">Time to use those amazing LRC databases to pin down some possible leads for research. Consider the following themes to target in your sources:</span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 18px;">past, present, and future prospects central to your issue</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18px;">sources will reflect an understanding of the issue and its implications</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18px;">sources may "provoke, inspire, and challenge" ideas central to the issue</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18px;">sources will address both sides of the issue-may potentially be in conversation or build off each other.</span></li>

<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">One tool you may want to consider as you begin your research is the Chrome App </span><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/evernote-web-clipper/pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc?hl=en" style="line-height: 18px;">Evernote Clipper. </a><span style="line-height: 18px;"> It looks to be a fantastic research annotation tool that could help you trap your research. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline;"> So right about now you have:</span><br />
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline;"> A) filtered through several sources that meet the aforementioned criteria </span><br />
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline;">B) shared with me and completed a work cited via Easybib </span><br />
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline;">C) access to Classroom Assignment IRP 2018 Synthesis Sources. Great! Let's tie it all together in a portfolio that reflects your research and bridges your ideas towards the synthesis essay. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline;"> The consecutive sources labeled Source A-Source H will be excerpts similar to the AP Synthesis materials (See above). The "Meta-commentary" step will keep you honest so that you deeply reflect on the inclusion of these sources. </span></div>
<br />

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium;">
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; vertical-align: baseline;">At the bottom of the page you will provide a commentary as to how and why this evidence was selected. <b>Make no mistake</b> that this is the most important part of the evidence as this reflects the strategy of how this will eventually fit into your synthesis. This is a mirror into your critical evaluation of evidence. Selecting weak evidence will be immediately sniffed out as there can be no way to authentically defend it. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<div style="margin: 0px;">
So simply comment on the following as they fit your concept of the evidence. </div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<div style="margin: 0px;">
a) Explain how the evidence might further explore/confirm the evidence of the issue. <b>Provoke/Inspire</b> </div>
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;">
b) Explain how this evidence will fit structurally into your essay. Intro? Contrast? Strawman? Be very patient here to explain your plan to use this evidence. <br />

Photobombs- Through political photography, find examples of how the candidate is targeting specific political themes (5) (job creation, education, security, etc). You must also comment on the visual strategies that help persuade for the candidate (camera angle, lighting, positioning, obvious "photoshopping".<br />

<strong><u>For Wednesday- </u></strong><strong> Persuaders</strong> -Remember that the basic qualities of product advertising are at play with politics. The difference is that you a spending a vote rather than money. Since candidates are "products", let's see how they sell themselves to the prospective voter. Just as you found evidence of appeals towards a specific target consumer, let's dig deeper to find how the methods of persuasion are layered in the official web sites of the candidates. Find the evidence of the following:<br />
<br />
A)3 "Basic Appeals"<br />
B) 3 VALS techniques<br />
C) 3 Example how the candidates attempting to build community around themselves/ or get various forms of "commitments" from the web page visitor (3)<br />
<br />
After you paste your evidence, <b>draw an arrow</b> on the photo and <b>provide a brief explanation of how the technique is used by the candidate for a particular effect. </b> I will be most impressed by successful identification of the DRAB! <br />

<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/32gsiqbjbk8/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/32gsiqbjbk8?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
Let's look at tone for our phase 1 of our study of review writing. It is important that you select the medium for your review (<a href="http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/">music</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/movies/index.html">film</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/television/index.html">television</a>, <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/w/pete_wells/index.html">food</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/video-games/index.html">video games</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/books/index.html">books</a>, etc.) so we can begin to drill down on features to improve our writing. The preliminary step is to sharpen our eye to how writers use tone while describing their review topic.<br />
<br />
A) Select your target. (Film,Album,Show,Restaurant,Tech, Video Game, Books, etc) *hint* Extremely positive/negative review elicit the best descriptions!<br />
B) Find <b>4+ reviews </b>of this "media" For example, 4 reviews of <i>IT.</i><br />
C) Paste the reviews into the attached Google doc from Classroom.<br />
D) Now begin to read reviews. In the doc, highlight all the tone words that help flavor the review to the desired tone.<br />
E) Of course, observe the structure of the review. Think about how the writer opened the review. How were the areas of critique organized? What were the comparisons? Use comment feature to observe this.<br />
<br />
I have linked for you several quality professional reviewers below. So what is your medium of choice for a review? <a href="http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/">music</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/movies/index.html">film</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/television/index.html">television</a>, <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/w/pete_wells/index.html">food</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/video-games/index.html">video games</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/books/index.html">books</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/theater/index.html">theater</a>, etc.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_EGiStfKwKyyImWSEV1Zw3PniiXsr2IAWHAq7FR9IrcN3V1GQC78-Wu8uYqpUiBVIDeDtwvNkRlGEQruV2xoVsUwreT5IzR05MZe0R3tqBOh6tvFmYWaX92ogT8ra6sNbNPJDQUIvn58/s1600/Untitled+image+%25284%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="142" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_EGiStfKwKyyImWSEV1Zw3PniiXsr2IAWHAq7FR9IrcN3V1GQC78-Wu8uYqpUiBVIDeDtwvNkRlGEQruV2xoVsUwreT5IzR05MZe0R3tqBOh6tvFmYWaX92ogT8ra6sNbNPJDQUIvn58/s320/Untitled+image+%25284%2529.png" width="320" /></a></div>

<br />
So Professor McGonigal needs to reach this audience using a unique set of appeals. Selling the idea that video games are the answer to pressing global issues to this audience is a challenge so be on the lookout while you watch to see how she attempts to "cross the moat" of their resistance to such an idea. <br />
Let's find them!<br />
<br />

<u><b>HW:</b></u><br />
<br />
Write a rhetorical analysis (RA) of two techniques Jane McGonigal uses during her TED talk to win over this audience. You have plenty of notes and observation on the Tuesdays with TED Google Doc. While writing your response, I want you to move away from blanket statements of rhetoric like, "McGonigal delivers plenty of logos to persuade her audience." It is more concise to use expressions similar to the following:<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial"; line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">For ethos= McGonigal established her authority by repeatedly... </span></li>

As you finish the book, you will need to uncover your own observation that binds a theme from our novel to several of the sources linked below. You may use one of the two quotes here or search out a pearl on your own to use to anchor your Q3. Next, you will thread your response with the sources below.<br />

<b>QHQ - Question - Hypothesis - Question</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A QHQ will provide you an opportunity to think (on paper) more analytically and critically than you might have had the opportunity to during class. We encourage you to take this assignment seriously and to use it to foster your own intellectual growth.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> </o:p>Here's how it works -</div>
<h1>
<o:p></o:p></h1>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<b>Q</b> - The first "Q" stands for Question:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You must pose an analytical/ provocative question to yourself. These questions may not be 'yes or no' questions, but instead must desire a thoughtful response. Questions as simple as "Who did _____?" or "what is the point of… ?" are inadequate and will receive no credit. Rather, your questions might make comparisons between concepts or ideas between chapters: "<b>Who can we trust as our speaker?</b>" or "<b>"Why does gender matter in this chapter?</b>" or "<b>How is this a perfect War Story?</b>"<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<b>H</b> - The "H" stands for Hypothesis:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is the most extensive written portion of this response. <i><b>You should write approximately three well-defined paragraphs that answer your question</b>. </i>"Answer," in this case, might be misleading - in fact, if you come to a definitive solution too easily, your question was probably not very thoughtful. This space is for you to try some analysis - it is a space for independent thinking. Points will only be deducted if you do not make a considered effort. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<b>Q</b> - The second "Q" again stands for Question:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Obviously, this will not be the same question as the first one you asked. Rather, this question will be a follow up. Any good question, which is followed by a good answer should also provide several avenues for future consideration. This second or follow up question should take your answer in a different direction. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
This writing exercise is just like having a mini conversation with yourself - except it's on paper and you're getting a grade for it. In essence you are writing a short dialogue. </div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now we enter into Phase 2 of the project.

Crafting a prompt will be almost too easy; however, the formation of your synthesis needs to be on your mind as you assemble your evidence. Which of these issues from the book appear the most interesting and rich enough for research? So start here by laying out several possible threads for debate. Remember that this is a very fluid process this early in the research. I will help you hone this question over the next few days.</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">One tool you may want to consider as you begin your research is the Chrome App </span><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/evernote-web-clipper/pioclpoplcdbaefihamjohnefbikjilc?hl=en" style="line-height: 18px;">Evernote Clipper. </a><span style="line-height: 18px;"> It looks to be a fantastic research annotation tool that could help you trap your research. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><b>Step 3- Evidence Portfolio via Classroom</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline;"> So right about now you have:</span><br />
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline;"> A) filtered through several sources that meet the aforementioned criteria </span><br />
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline;">B) shared with me and completed a work cited via Easybib </span><br />
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline;">C) access to Classroom Assignment IRP 2017 Synthesis Sources. Great! Let's tie it all together in a portfolio that reflects your research and bridges your ideas towards the synthesis essay. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline;"> The consecutive sources labeled Source A-Source H will be excerpts similar to the AP Synthesis materials (See above). The "Meta-commentary" step will keep you honest so that you deeply reflect on the inclusion of these sources. </span></div>
<br />
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1prlnEupnZkKCOHiiMRW6AeLQCCqgpydiOLQLSvzUg1I/edit?usp=sharing">Solid Source vs. Weak Source</a><br />

<div style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium;">
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; vertical-align: baseline;">At the bottom of the page you will provide a commentary as to how and why this evidence was selected. <b>Make no mistake</b> that this is the most important part of the evidence as this reflects the strategy of how this will eventually fit into your synthesis. This is a mirror into your critical evaluation of evidence. Selecting weak evidence will be immediately sniffed out as there can be no way to authentically defend it. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<div style="margin: 0px;">
So simply comment on the following as they fit your concept of the evidence. </div>
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">
<div style="margin: 0px;">
a) Explain how the evidence might further explore/confirm the evidence of the issue. <b>Provoke/Inspire</b> </div>
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;">
b) Explain how the evidence complicates the <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">issue-</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">and how this may be leveraged into your essay.</span></span></div>

<b>Task</b>:<br />
Here we go again...this time you can team up with a partner (as in <b>one other carbon based life form</b>) to break down some rhetoric from a famous film. Get started by clicking on <a href="http://americanrhetoric.com/moviespeeches.htm" target="_blank">American Rhetoric Movie Speeches</a> or <a href="http://www.filmsite.org/bestspeeches.html">Filmsite.org </a> maybe some other scene from a movie/<a href="http://en.spongepedia.org/index.php?title=Episode_Transcript:_Chocolate_With_Nuts">TV</a> you can find from the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILRIdY2W8qk">intertubes</a>. This is a first come/ first serve list for films so there can <b><u>not be any redundancy</u></b> in our presentations. The list begins now...tell <b>me </b>your selection before you get too far into the analysis. You may not use any war/coach speeches motivational...We will cover that in January. Break it down for us. Create a brief Google Slide Show that covers the following rhetorical elements.<br />
<ol>
<li>Slide 1-Explain what we know about the speaker and their motive(s). What do they want from their audience (not us audience- the people they are speaking to)?</li>
<li>Slide 2-Who is the audience? What do they value? Why might they be reluctant to move upon request of speaker? or why might they be excited or intrigued? </li>
<li>Slide 3-Explicitly lay out the strategy of the speaker. What must they do to "unlock" the audience? Establish at least three unique strategies at play in this speech.</li>
<li>Slide 4 + What are the<a href="http://literarydevices.net/"> rhetorical devices </a>in the speech? How did this device amplify the strategy?</li>
<li>Slide- 6? One perfect paragraph to model how you would write this in the rhetorical analysis essay. Show this to me before you finish as it must be PERFECT! </li>
<li>Save the presentation in Classroom in the form shared with you.</li>
<li>Don't worry about the sample being too short. You are just walking us through an analysis at the start of the period. This will sharpen the blade of analysis.</li>

If you wait until the last few days to complete the analysis of the writer, the project will suffer as your analysis will be weak as will your Apprentice essay. On the flip side, keeping a disciplined regiment of analysis of a new editorial piece every 1-2 days will pay off as you will be less stressed and will allow for a proper reflection on the technique of your writer. This reflection will make the drafting of the Apprentice essay smooth.</span></span><br />

Write a rhetorical analysis of two techniques Jane McGonigal uses during her Ted talk. I want you to move away from blanket statements of rhetoric like, "McGonigal delivers plenty of logos to persuade her audience." It is more concise to use expressions similar to the following:<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial"; line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">For ethos= McGonigal established her authority by repeatedly... </span></li>

As we head into Halloween weekend, let's prime our spirits with the techniques of suspense! I posted 6<strike> spooky </strike> <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/spoopy">spoopy</a> short films for you to break down for its effect. <span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>You are in the process of pattern recognition of technique and how that technique contributes to the desired effect in the audience. In this case, creating and amplifying dread/suspense is the goal. </li>
<li>Watch the short films (A-G) with notes in hand ready to find the formula for suspense. Find the techniques that create this suspense in the audience. <b>If you are faint of heart...only watch H-K.</b></li>
<li>On the shared Slideshow posted in Classroom, you will present 3 distinct technique/strategies evident in the short films.(see my example) Use as many screenshots to support your observation. <b>Why does it work? </b>Be ready to present tomorrow! Respond to Classroom question as well as practice rhetorical analysis.</li>

<br />
Today we begin to build our available vocabulary for your future review. It is important that you select the medium for your review (<a href="http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/">music</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/movies/index.html">film</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/television/index.html">television</a>, <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/w/pete_wells/index.html">food</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/video-games/index.html">video games</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/books/index.html">books</a>, etc.) so we can begin the process of drafting. The preliminary step is to build our vocabulary that is specific to the target of our review. So we need to read several reviews and prune the language specific to this medium.<br />
<br />
A) Select your target. (Film,Album,Show,Restaurant,Tech, Video Game, Books, etc)<br />
B) Peruse critics from established professional publications. Select <b><u>one critic</u></b> that you enjoy and pick a range of their reviews from positive, negative, to "meh".<br />
C) Create a Google doc (<b>do not need to share with me</b>) and copy and paste no less than 4 lengthy reviews reflecting a range of ratings.<br />
D) Now begin to read reviews and copy the vocabulary unique to the target (cacophony, wide angle, etc) into the Review Vocabulary notes in Classroom. Tuck away words that will help you show fluency in the medium. Remember how we highlighted red for ethos? Orange for tilted language? Pull out these words and your future self will be most thankful when you are drafting your review. (Here is a big pile of<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/10V2oFuWlHL9tXpP852ApmzTMLGdkEO6lawB3Fgtqyuw/edit?usp=sharing"> music vocab</a> note tilting for positive or negative)<br />
E) Of course, observe the structure of the review. Think about how the writer opened the review. How were the areas of critique organized? What were the comparisons?<br />
<br />
I have linked for you several quality professional reviewers below. So what is your medium of choice for a review? <a href="http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/">music</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/movies/index.html">film</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/television/index.html">television</a>, <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/w/pete_wells/index.html">food</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/video-games/index.html">video games</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/books/index.html">books</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/pages/theater/index.html">theater</a>, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/section/fashion">style</a> & <a href="http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/fashion/the-best-fashion-blogs-ever-69888">fashion</a>, etc.<br />

Great way to add description where the right word is not available to capture it. Take an allusion from pop culture/literature/ history (don't be too obscure for your audience) + ian or esque or -like. Adds flavor but as always use in moderation.Punch up your adjectives when no word current exists that can capture the essence...<br />
<ul>
<li>Flintstonian(adj) beef ribs(noun)</li>
<li>Jordanesque (adj) fadeaway (noun)</li>
<li>Matrix-like (adj) evasion (noun)</li>

<b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Chase the scent of great barbecue in New York City, and you are rooting for a team that will, sooner or later, let you down. You are a Red Sox fan in any season from 1919 to 2003. There will be enough victories to keep the dream flickering, and there will be nights when you watch the ball hop between the first baseman’s legs.<br />But every loss feeds a new hope in your heart. This winter, hope came in threes. Barbecue hounds ran to Gowanus to get burnt ends and char siu pork steak at <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/restaurants/1248069043472/fletchers-brooklyn-barbecue/details.html">Fletcher’s Brooklyn Barbecue</a>, and to Williamsburg to find out whether <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/restaurants/1248069043431/briskettown/details.html">BrisketTown</a> deserved to be crowned the Brisket King of New York in a recent cook-off. They descended on the East Village to take apart </span><span style="font-size: large;">Flintstonian</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> beef ribs at Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque and watch men in heavy black gloves grab pork shoulder by the fistful and shake it into dripping hunks — yes, real pulled pork on Second Avenue.<br />All three places slow-cook their barbecue with hardwood only, no gas allowed. All three places serve meat that is largely raised on pastures or outdoors, including pork from old breeds with flavorful rosy flesh and a thick girdle of white fat that bastes the meat as it melts. </span></b></blockquote>
