12 July: Annotated Bib and Seuss

Don, thank you for taking time to clarify so many items this morning. I've done annotated bibliographies before, but sometimes the expectations vary somewhat beyond the summary component. It was beneficial, too, to dialogue about the inquiry paper. My question is still evolving--I just hope I sort it all out before the deadline ;-( I also liked your explanation of the rhetorical triangle, ethos, pathos, and logos. I could probably have given you definitions had you asked, but your analogy gave a much deeper understanding of the concepts. Now, I'm wondering, how do I address those in the classroom?????? Lots to think about......

Ethel, I really enjoyed your demo this morning. I appreciated the background information delivered in the power point...so many things I did not know about Dr. Seuss! I think The Lorax could be a powerful vehicle for discussion and persuasion in the high school setting; I think students would really respond to the message of the piece. Thanks for exposing us to it. You had a great variety of delivery options for your lesson. Well done!
