1. Listen- Morgan Freeman Read's John Lewis. In your notes, jot down any initial impressions about what you hear in the writing.
2. Read- The text of John Lewis' Final Words. "Together, You Can Help Redeem the Soul of Our Nation"
Annotate the following considering the writing and HOW this text functions as a piece of rhetoric:
- What are the goals of the final words of Congressman Lewis?
- What examples of rhetorical devices are utilized in this writing?
- How does the idea of kairos play into this piece? (When was it published? Context of the world? Why?)
- How does this work address conformity or anticonformity?
- What other literary devices do you see at work?
- What comparisons can you make to other texts we have read?
- Considering STYLE... how do you know this is a John Lewis work? (beyond his name being on it?)
- What questions do you have?
3. THEN.. Read the following analysis by Roy Peter Clark. What I learned about writing from John Lewis
4. Return back to Lewis' writing. Add to your notes the things that you see Mr. Clark identify. This is a training exercise to help guide you to see MORE in the writing.
5. Upload a picture of your annotations (both sides) to Schoology. I am expecting very little white space remaining. If you underline something.. you MUST attach a written comment with it.
