February 21

AGENDA:

1) Go over vocabulary test
2) Review - what is parallel structure - what is not.....why?
3) MLK - "Letter from a Birmingham Jail"
 One of the neat tricks that King uses to combine form and structure is to develop a series of terms and ideas that are opposed to each other in order to persuade us that his critics are wrong. By redefining many of these words, he forces us to reevaluate the philosophy behind his actions.
                1. Identify a pair of opposite terms used by King in the course of his letter.
                2. What is the meaning of each term according to King? What values is he putting
                     forth by using these terms? Which of the two does he prefer?   (Example: moderate and extremism)
