9/11 Article readings

Welcome to class!  In my absence today, please read the following articles:
"A Time of Gifts" by Stephen Gould (2001)
and
"Teaching my Child about the 9/11 Attacks" by Rose Arce (2013)

1. In a pair or trio, discuss the various stylistic techniques you noticed the author using in his/her writing, including metaphors, symbolism, sophisticated word choice, etc.
2. Then, examine how the three appeals might apply to this particular article.
3. Finally, discuss what you believe to be the main purpose of this person's writing and how it informs you about the context surrounding 9/11.

Repeat the above steps for the other article as well.
*Be prepared to show brief notes from your discussion tomorrow in class.

Please use any remaining time to work on the chapter one study guide extension activities (due tomorrow), and looking for a social issues book that you might like to read.
