Wrapping up Nixon

I gave you feedback on your Nixon outlines yesterday. Type up the final analysis this weekend (MLA format and such) to turn in on Monday. We’ll begin JFK’s inaugural address then. Email me if you get stuck ((or even better, share on Google docs)), but look to the big handout first—there is plenty of information there on terms and appeals to help you pull the ethos analysis together.
Tuesday we’ll have a chance to discuss arguments you bring, so keep your eye open in the next few days for one that grabs your attention. As is always the case with assignments like this, avoid simply googling “argument” or even “confederate flag argument”; we are inundated with arguments daily and I want to help make you aware of this.
If you’re interested, here’s the video of Nixon’s address.
