9/13 end of class and homework

Sorry I ran out on you today, leaving you with Ms. Davis, but my daughter fell and got a concussion. Thank goodness everything is okay, but I had to meet her and my wife at the emergency room, which is never fun.

Anyway, I didn't get to
a.) collect your 9/11 worksheets. If you could please email them to me at rholt@hs.spotsylvania.k12.va.us I'd appreciate it.
b.) assign your homework: I was going to ask you to watch President Bush's speech to the nation tonight. If you get this email before he speaks, please take notes on his persona (Speaker choices, credibility, etc.), types of evidence he uses, and Appeals to audience (logos, pathos, and ethos).
-----------------IF you do not get to this blog in time: read, watch, or listen to the analysis of the speech. What Rhetorical terms do the analysts use (lists with their support)? How persuasive do they feel the speech was?

Thanks,

Mr. Holt
