We finished read "A Modest Proposal" together. As we read, we identified rhetorical strategies Swift employs in the article. We noted that Swift was writing a satire, as was Mark Twain. Both used satirical strategies including irony, juxtaposition, and narrative point of view.
Homework: Rhetorical notebook entry for A Modest Proposal due tomorrow. (Do not do number 4--we will write a full-length imitation article later.)

Students took a quiz on subordination and coordination.
We then held a writer's workshop, revising essays using repetition, clear pronoun references, and subordination (conjunctions) for emphasis.
Homework: Final revisions of the monuments essay are due on Wednesday.
