Great Lesson Idea!

[David Ojeda]

Nichole,

I like the idea of using the excerpt to focus on rhethorical devices. Perhaps the students could partake in a close reading of the text. For the first read, the focus could be pathos. The second read could be ethos, and the third could be logos. I could see this turning into a research assignment where students gather evidence from either our current society or perhaps from the historical context of the book.
