ENGL 101 Civil Disobedience Birmingham Jail Evaluate Letter

Description

You are asked to identify and evaluate the evidence in this piece the same way you looked at the Elie Wiesel piece.

Task: Please watch and read Dr. King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” and annotate looking for Thesis, Claims, Evidence (supports claims) and Rhetorical Strategies. This is in my opinion, one of the most effective rehtorical writings in America. Dr. King uses almost all of the rhetorical strategies on our class handout.

Please listen to the commentary and listen the speech being read and follow along in the written speech.

While you read, please look for and annotate: (same request as with Perils of Indifference)

1) The Thesis: What is the purpose of the speech?

2) Claims: Please identify THREE main points the author makes to support the thesis

3) Evidence: Each claim with have a piece of evidence (specific example) the speaker uses to support the claim

Rhetorical Strategy: Looking at the Ethos Logos Pathos Handout decide on a strategy (there is more than one option and no one right answer) With Dr, King often times it is how he says something (use of language and tone) more than his specific evidence – consider this too
