Had mini-presentations from three groups on the portion of their Age of Reason pamphlets about Thomas Paine and The American Crisis. Analyzed The American Crisis paragraph by paragraph. We got through the first four. For each paragraph, on a separate piece of paper, we had to highlight and define words we did not know, write a one to two sentence summary of the paragraph, and then identify one example of one appeal and explain why it satisfies the requirements for either ethos, pathos, or logos. HOMEWORK (for Monday): Finish the last four paragraphs of The American Crisis, along with the summaries, definitions, and appeals. You should only take about 15 minutes per two paragraphs.
