  2. A Note on Progress Reports • There are slips of paper in each folder telling you what your current percentage in the class is, as of Monday. • I have noticed that some of you are only doing half of the homework from Ender’s Game. The requirement is vocabulary AND reading journal; not either/or. You are losing 50% credit every week if you’re only doing one of these assignments. • Yes, you can make up homework, but it may be docked points for being late. • There is still plenty of time to bring up your grade.

  3. Freewrite • If you lived 2000 years ago, which would be the best to own: a horse, a cow, or a dozen chickens? Why?

  4. Agenda for Today • Introduction to essay topic and pre-writing/brainstorming activities • Sentence combining (yes, finally, for real!): using FANBOYS, SUBs, and Trans

  5. Essay 1: Advertising Page 149 Texts and Contexts

  6. The Assignment (pg 149) • Write an essay in which you examine a selection of advertisements from a magazine you read, whether one you read frequently or infrequently. Examine ten full-page ads, preferably ones in color. Try to figure out which of Fowles’ fifteen appeals is working in each ad. Come to a conclusion about how advertisers see the readers of the magazine.

  7. What I Will Be Looking For • A definition/categorization of the type of magazine, and it’s particular audience (who reads it). • Descriptions of the ads being analyzed • Classification of the ads into each of Fowles’ 15 appeals • A conclusion based on the above in which you decide how the magazine’s publishers view their readers.

  8. Requirements • Minimum of 3 pages. Ideally, I think this should be about 4 pages. • MLA formatting (see reference sample I gave you). • No outside sources, though quoting from Fowles article will probably be necessary to support your points. • You will need to include a works cited page • Due dates: • Rough Draft: Monday 3/4. THIS IS NEXT MONDAY! • Final Draft: Wednesday, 3/13, though I may change this

  9. Fowles writes “an advertisement communicates by making use of a specially selected image…which is designed to stimulate” and get our attention in some way (137). • Fowles, Jib. “Advertising’s Fifteen Basic Appeals.” Texts and Contexts: A Contemporary Approach to College Writing. Robinson, William S and Stephanie Tucker, eds. 7th Ed. Boston: Wadsworth, 2009. Print.

  10. Questions on this assignment?

  11. Pre-Writing/Brainstorming Activity

  12. For homework, I asked you to read Fowles’ article, and to bring in a magazine of your choice. • With a partner or small group, choose an ad from each of the magazines you brought in. • Using Fowles’ article and your notes/summary of it, identify the appeals being used in the ads. You may discuss each ad together, or work separately and compare notes (this is the pre-writing activity on page 149). • When you’re done, we’ll take a look at some of them as a class and start looking at what conclusions we can draw, which will help you get started in putting your essay together.

  13. Sentence Combining FANBOYS, SUBs, and Transitions

  14. Independent Clauses (IC) • Independent clauses have a subject and verb, and can stand alone as a sentence • She ran • He spoke • He spoke fluent English

  15. Dependent Clauses (DC) • CANNOT stand alone as sentences, though they will also contain a subject and verb • When she ran • Although he spoke fluent English

  16. Santa Claus

  17. How to tell the difference • Independent clauses will sound complete. • Dependent clauses will begin with a connecting word, and won’t sound complete. • Although • When • And • Because • After • While • Since • Santa Claus is a fat man in a red suit with a white beard.

  18. Why it matters • Knowing the differences between the types of clauses will help you to identify and correct your mistakes. Some of the most common errors (run-ons and fragments) are caused by joining clauses incorrectly.

  19. FANBOYS = Coordinating Conjunctions • For • And • Nor • Or • Yet • So • FANBOYS coordinate Star Trek conventions

  20. How they work • FANBOYS are used to link independent clauses (IC) together. • IC, FANBOYS IC

  21. SUBs = Subordinating Conjunctions • When you start a sentence with a SUB, it won’t be complete. • Although • Because • When • If • While

  22. Using SUBs • SUBs help us connect DCs to ICs. • The punctuation depends on the order of the sentence. • DC, IC • IC DC • You only need a comma if the DC comes first

  23. Transitions • Transitions work like SUBs and FANBOYS in combining sentences, but they require extra punctuation to be grammatically correct. • Transitions will combine ICs. • IC; trans, IC • Common words: • However, therefore, thus, moreover, then, also

  24. Review! • With a partner, complete “Jim the Consumer” on page 163-164

  25. Homework • Rough draft of essay assignment • Ender’s Game chapters 10-11 • Vocab • Reading journal
