- Use of Argumentative Appeals (Ethos, Logos, Pathos)- E,L, or P in the left Margin of your notes and a short quote/phrase to match it
- Points of Interest–I in the margin of your notes if there was a topic brought up that was a point of interest for you (such as college tuition prices, etc).
- Use of supporting Facts and Details– F or D in the Margins if you feel the point was well supported
- Points argued not well supported–S in the margin to denote a point that you feel needed additional support
We will be having a STUDENT LEAD Socratic Seminar in class Thrusday & Friday to let them discuss what points of interest arose in the State of the Union address and what facts, details, and appeals were used to support these points.
