In addition to the practice you picked up in class....

here is a complete list of terms and vocab.

Project info and links to turn in presentations.

So a couple of general points based on questions I've been getting.

Works cited page is only necessary if you are using someone else's research or opinion. You do NOT need to cite the ads that you are analyzing on your own. Also if you DO use a works cited page, it should be typed up in MLA format.

Stick to analyzing the appeals and falacies given to you in class. Don't stray too far off course.

Use the links below to complete the form to turn in your presentation. ALL presentations are due on MONDAY. Then on the day you present - whatever day that is, you will turn in your script (or outline) rubric and works cited page IF you completed one.

When filling out the form in the link below, you will need to fill in your name AND then you will need to click SHARE on your presentation. Make sure that you click the subsequent dropdown menu that says "Anyone at Plymouth Canton with the link can edit". This is very important so that I can see if you have changed your presentation AFTER the due date.
