Today, we will be examining the released samples for the 2009 Q3 assertion essay you wrote defending, challenging, or qualifying your agreement or disagreement with Horace's assertion:
"Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant."
To do so, we will use AP central released samples and peer papers as comparative examples, to discuss strengths, weaknesses, and techniques for approaching this type of essay.
For homework, you will be writing an assertion essay in response to this prompt (choose one quote).
This essay will be due on WED., 9/21.
Your essay should take 45-50 minutes total, be handwritten and planning will be turned in with it.
Additionally, please work on defining the vocabulary words for this unit. See how many you can define without looking up the definition in the glossary of your textbook.
The words are:
rhetoric
qualify- to agree or disagree with reservation
persona
ethos
logos
pathos
thesis
context
intention
canon
