Homework: For Thursday, read and annotate "What, to the Slave, is the Fourth of July?" with an eye to rhetorical analysis.  Consider audience, purpose, tone, syntax, and diction, and other strategies as you read!

DUE DATES

MONDAY, April 24: The Do-over! AP style argument essay on either of the prompts listed yesterday ("The Cave" or Machiavelli on promises).  Will be collected for a grade!
