Important Note to Students

The HAMLIT assignment page is a convenience but not something to be dependent on. When possible, homework and reading assignments will be posted here, but you are expected to complete all assignments that are announced in class on time, regardless of whether they are posted online. If you are absent, or do not remember if there is an assignment, you will need to contact another member of class to verify what the assignment is. Neither I nor the site are responsible for your failure to complete this responsibility.

Read King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail.

Pay careful attention to his use of rhetorical appeals, allusions, syntax, structure, and other persuasive techniques.

Which parts of the letter do you find most effective?

You may wish to print a copy and bring it to class with sections annotated and highlighted to help with discussion.
