  22. Now… take a look at your claim about David Sedaris’s essay “Me Talk Pretty One Day.” Rate it 1 – 5. 1 = Not even close. 3 = On the right track but needs some tweaking 5 = My claim deserves a gold star.

  23. With your partner… You will begin working on your homework for tonight, which is to type a rhetorical analysis paragraph about either Woolf or Alexi’s piece. You and your partner should 1) choose a claim, and 2) begin looking for evidence (specific words or sentence structures) that support your claim.
