To begin class, partnerships shared their diction analysis of the assigned reading for Emerson's "Education." I used too many prepositional phrases in that last sentence, but I accept and acknowledge the fault.
Then, students were assigned groups to make a team essay answering this prompt: How does Emerson use diction to reflect his purpose? Students should have a draft of their individual assignment, i.e. paragraph, for the start of class tomorrow.
*If you were absent, you will be need to write a paragraph on your own answering the above prompt. While this paragraph should be detailed and quite lengthy with evidence, do not feel that you need to analyze all of the diction present in the text. Select a specific type or pattern and concentrate on that for the paragraph. You are creating, in essence, a strong body paragraph.
