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.

Revolutionary Authors Analysis Essay

You will be writing a complete essay analyzing how Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Paine used rhetorical devices to persuade their audiences to separate from England. This chart will help you organize your ideas, but is not a required or assessed part of the assignment, so ignore where it says "you will be completing a chart." It is, however, highly recommended that you use the chart to help with organization and analytical thinking.

Wednesday: Unit 1 Test
Due Friday, 10/30: Complete rough draft (revisions in class)
