3. Writing: Photo Prompt 
4. Quizlet Live: Stems Quiz #4 tomorrow
5. Pick up Notes handout from front desk
6. The first time students watched it to get a general sense of the commercial. After the initial viewing, each time we asked students to focus on specific aspects of the commercial:                1. Imagery (Muted)
2. Printed Words (Muted)
3. Spoken Words (No visual)
4. Music (No visual)

In other words, on the second viewing students only focused on the images on the screen. The video will be muted. On the third viewing, they only focused on the printed words, and so on. By the end, they had closely read this "text" FIVE times. This forced the students to dig below the surface and develop a clear understanding of what the author was doing in the advertisement.

After each viewing, we asked the students to fill out each row, starting with the middle "Notes" column.

In the left-hand margin, students summarized what the author was SAYING through the images, printed words, spoken words and music. In their own words, they summarized what each element was trying to accomplish.

In the right-hand margin, students analyzed what the author was DOING for each element. This is where we applied the appeals and fallacies from the notes over rhetoric. Students had to really dig in to get a full understanding of what the author was doing - how they were appealing to and manipulating their audience. 

Complete the precis for homework.
