10 25 11 Assignments

10th: Work on Rhetoric assignments.

11/12: Reach Chapter Five of They Say; think about how you are helping your reader distinguish among the various ‘voices’ in your writing—what ‘voice markers’ are you using?

Rhetoric:

With reference to the readings for today, from the gospels: Why did Jesus say, ‘Don’t be anxious’ or ‘Don’t worry’ about defending the gospel? Is there something more persuasive than a well prepared speech with rehearsed gestures and emotional cues? What is the most effective demonstration of the truth of the gospel?

Read 1 Cor. Chs. 1 & 2. Identify 4 or 5 verses that seem relevant, and explain their relevance.

Paul mentions ‘Jews’, offended, and ‘Greeks’, to whom the gospel seems stupid. Who are their modern analogs?
