What's New Feb 19th

Hey AP English III, it's Amy. I am happy to say that I don't actually have to know what happens to those who forget to write on the blog because I remembered! Ok, no one wrote Thursdays but all we did was outline for our essay and rejoice in the news that it was a take-home essay. I doubt anyone's even going to read this b/c we were all in class today. So for those of you who enjoy reading summaries of class or who need an update, we went over some new notes in class for the Toulmin Theory and discussed the categories of examples from case examples (function like straight facts/less personal) to hypothetical examples (can only demonstrate probability) to personal examples (not sure if it's an actual category, but must be connected to the claim). Also, make sure to acknowledge that facts are not 100% true because they are based on perception and observations. It's important to perceive what kind of audience you're writing to and to use all parts of the "triangle" (pathos, logos, and ethos) to support an argument to address all audiences. Faith and fact is a good combo. $84 for the AP English Test. We handed in our essays today, so if you forgot then you have my sympathy. That's all folks.
