Gents: Today in class, you assessed your AP Rhetorical Analysis essays (the other JFK speech), scoring yourself with the AP 1-9 scale.
Then, we finished (started...) discussion of "On the Rainy River" by Tim O'Brien, leading into Donald Murray's "The Stranger in the Photo is Me," which provides a nice example of an essay with an implicit thesis.
For homework... (remember that I won't see you until Tuesday, October 28th)
