Rhetorical Terms: if you need a glossary

Device	Subtext – What they really mean
Antithesis – ‘mirth in funeral/dirge in marriage”(1.2.11)	The juxtaposition of ideas shows that Claudius is ecstatic to be king, and sad that his marriage followed a funeral, but oh well! “I’m King” as he might say. He has to hide his true feelings given the occasion
order of ideas and many others

2. Complete the Deconstructing Student Essays Assignment and the "She being Brand / new" Text Rendering Due Monday

Substitute Assignment 1.25.17

AP English 4 –  Periods 5, 6, and 7:

Deconstructing Student Writing Template:

Part 1: Having Scored Essays with AP Rubric and composed critiques, SW work with partner to complete deconstruction of student essays for 2012 Question 2 - Under the Feet of Jesus using the Deconstructing Student Writing Essay. (please see student handout that is in drive folder – link is on the Blog). By the end of the Period students will submit analysis of each student essay scored a 5 or higher. Each student should turn in her/his own copy of the assignment and their rubric scores.

Part 2: Please work with a student partner to render the poem “she being Brand / -new” by e.e. cummings. Remember, as with the assignment for “The Flea”, students will select one word, one phrase, and one sentence from the text. In each instance unpack all the connotative meanings of the WORD; then do the same with the PHRASE, and the SENTENCE. When you are finished put the three together into a one page (college ruled) analysis of the poem paying particular attention to how double entendre and verbal ironies establish nuance and multiple meanings in the text. WHY DO YOU THINK CUMMINGS CHOSE THIS KIND OF SYNTAX FOR THE POEM?

Submit completed assignments to the class box at period's end. If you are working digitally/electronically submit typed assignments as two separate shared Google Docs. Share with jessupsenglish@gmail.com
