Note how Malcolm X uses rhetorical strategies to emphasize how these events made lasting impressions upon him. Find examples of effective rhetorical strategies used by Malcolm X to communicate his childhood experiences in this chapter. List these examples in bullet form and identify the rhetorical strategy/strategies used in each example. Then, develop a thesis statement in which you explain how Malcolm X uses rhetorical strategies to emphasize how traumatic early childhood experiences developed his nascent attitudes and beliefs. NOTE: YOU MUST BRING YOUR COPY OF MALCOLM X TO CLASS EACH DAY. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN A ZERO FOR ANY CLASSWORK OR HALF CREDIT FOR ANY HOMEWORK SUBMITTED ON THAT DAY. YOU HAVE KNOWN SINCE THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL THAT THIS BOOK WAS REQUIRED, SO DON'T INSULT ME WITH EXCUSES FOR YOU NOT HAVING THE TEXT.</strong></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="left"> </div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="left"> </div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="center"><strong><font style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt" size="5"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><strong><font style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; COLOR: #ff6600" size="5">11/2, 3</font></strong></span></font></strong></div> <strong><font style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt" size="5"><strong> <div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="left"> </div> </strong></font></strong> <div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="left"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #000000">In class we did the following:</span> <div> </div> <div>Return Quarter 1 logs and Student Quarterly Reviews</div> <div>Students placed writing folders in order.</div> <div>Reviewed Grade Recovery policy: Deadline to apply is 11/13; student must meet minimum req's to attempt grade recovery; student who meets the req's will have to print the Grade Recovery form from my website and submit it to me.</div> <div>Review Malcolm X exam</div> <div>Students worked in groups to determine which students had the best thesis from last night's homework.</div> <div>I showed students 4 analytical prompts from 1984-2000, and I explained how every analytical essay requires them to do the same basic thing each time.</div> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="left"><strong> </strong></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="left"><strong><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #000000"> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #000000"> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></strong></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="left"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><strong>Homework: Bring to class a copy of the Quotations handout from my handout page.</strong></span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="left"> </div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="center"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt" size="5"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; COLOR: #ff6600" size="5"><strong>11/4, 5</strong></font></span></font></div> <font style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt" size="5"> <div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="left"><strong> </strong></div> </font> <div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal" align="left"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #ff6600"><span style="COLOR: #000000"><span style="COLOR: #000000">In class we did the following:</span> <div> </div> <div>Small groups: critiqued student thesis statements</div> <div>Analytical thesis statements should NOT mimic the prompt.
