Once you have completed your poster, answer ALL the following in at least a three-paragraph persuasive response. Use your Betrayer or Patriot evidence chart from the Canvas lessons and class to persuade readers that Brutus is either a traitor or a patriot. Remember to use transition words and phrases within your paragraphs and between your paragraphs-- paragraphs follow the mini-essay format (intro statement, details, concluding statement). In addition, be sure to explain all the evidence you provide using the elaboration techniques we learned in cycle 4.

✳ In your introductory paragraph. Be sure to include the details of the text. What should be in the intro paragraph? What is the title of the play? Who is the author? When was it written? Introduce it. Then state your thesis. Do not just start writing about it without introducing it to the audience.

✳In the body paragraph(s), provide evidence to support your thesis and carefully and thoroughly explain the evidence.

*Ask yourself the following questions about each piece of evidence you provide: Is this line sincere, sarcasm, or something else? How can you tell? Which words in this line suggest the character’s true feelings? Are there multiple ways to interpret this line? What are they?

*Start each body paragraph with a transitional phrase and answer all questions in complete sentences.

✳ Do not forget to end with a powerful concluding paragraph (something that sums up the entire essay and restates the thesis). What was Shakespeare’s purpose in portraying Brutus this way, or what did you learn about human nature from this play?

You must provide a minimum of two embedded quotes or paraphrased ideas that prove your thesis. You must have a minimum of three full paragraphs (an introduction, a body paragraph, and a conclusion)

Directions, Part 1: Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech is one of the most famous historical speeches in America. Using the Internet or your school library, locate video or audio of King delivering the speech. Watch the entire speech and use the Text Editor to answer the following questions:

What is his body language like?
Is his voice loud or quiet? Does it get louder at any particular point? Why do you think that is?
What kind of tone does he use?
What rhetorical devices do you recognize? Cite some specific examples from the speech and explain the effect they have on you as an audience member.
Directions, Part 2: Once you have watched the speech, find a transcript of it either online or in your school library and identify a section you feel was the most powerful or effective in communicating his message. Memorize that section of the speech and present it to your Contact Teacher using appropriate tone, pacing, and performance techniques to enhance your delivery. The section you choose should be substantial enough to allow you to show how meaningful the section is, demonstrate effective rhetorical techniques, and to show your ability to memorize and deliver a section of text effectively. If possible and appropriate, use visual aids like images, video, audio, etc. to enhance your performance.

Which two sentences in this excerpt from President Woodrow Wilson's speech "War Message" argue that offense is the best defense for America in the face of German aggression?
When I addressed the Congress on the 26th of February last, I thought that it would suffice to assert our neutral rights with arms, our right to use the seas against unlawful interference, our right to keep our people safe against unlawful violence. But armed neutrality, it now appears, is impracticable. Because submarines are in effect outlaws when used as the German submarines have been used against merchant shipping, it is impossible to defend ships against their attacks as the law of nations has assumed that merchantmen would defend themselves against privateers or cruisers, visible craft giving chase upon the open sea.

It is common prudence in such circumstances, grim necessity indeed, to endeavor to destroy them before they have shown their own intention. They must be dealt with upon sight, if dealt with at all. The German government denies the right of neutrals to use arms at all within the areas of the sea which it has proscribed, even in the defense of rights which no modern publicist has ever before questioned their right to defend. The intimation is conveyed that the armed guards which we have placed on our merchant ships will be treated as beyond the pale of law and subject to be dealt with as pirates would be.

Armed neutrality is ineffectual enough at best; in such circumstances and in the face of such pretensions it is worse than ineffectual: it is likely only to produce what it was meant to prevent; it is practically certain to draw us into the war without either the rights or the effectiveness of belligerents. There is one choice we cannot make, we are incapable of making: we will not choose the path of submission and suffer the most sacred rights of our nation and our people to be ignored or violated. The wrongs against which we now array ourselves are no common wrongs; they cut to the very roots of human life.

Can you Help me to answer these questions, please?
