Reminder: New due date for Blog Post responding to the Tim O'Brien quote: Midnight on Tuesday, Oct. 29. Please comment on one blog by midnight on Halloween. Comment on the blog of someone whom you haven't commented on before.
Monday: Continue chapter analysis for The Things They Carried. Continue until finished, either Tuesday or Wednesday.
When a computer lab is available, even if we have to interrupt the chapter discussions, we will look at Identifying Genres & Persuasion in Political Discourse. We will look at appeals being used in speeches and campaign material.
By next Monday, watch at least one episode of each of the following: The Daily Show, The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News, Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, and The Colbert Report. Take notes. What rhetorical appeals are used?
Plan to be flexible this week depending on lab availability. Don't forget the Mock Election on Oct. 29 and 30th. Limited, manageable homework!

Do we also have to respond to the quotes on our own blog?
That would be the polite thing to do :)
My,my, isn't it a lovely day?
Can we watch NOW or Charlie Rose or Bill Moyer's Journal instead of one of the programs you listed?
Anything on PBS is automatically awesome, thus I must agree with The Teach. Bill O'Reilly, on the other hand....
We'll start with the extremes and then look at the balanced approach. But you most certainly may watch whatever you want!
