In the February 26th New York Review of Books, Zadie Smith, a biracial British woman and author most recently of On Beauty, discusses the multitude of voices which President Obama accesses in his writing. Her piece, “Speaking in Tongues ,” is well worth a read.

Use track changes (inside this Word document) to add your group’s annotations. Remember to annotate for both rhetorical strategies AND argument (claim, logos, pathos, ethos, concession/refutation).
As said in class, Obama will be running a 30-minute television info/commercial at 8 PM EDT tonight on most television networks including CBS, NBC and Fox, but not ABC and CNN.
Please join a real-time discussion via Internet Relay Chat (IRC). IRC is a means of holding real-time conversations online among many people in discussion forums called channels. With IRC we can easily discuss the info/commercial in real-time with each other, as well as hold any other kinds of future discussions.
A channel unique to our class has been set up.
Server: irc.freenode.net
Channel: #chsnaplang
You can use a client to connect to the channel with the above information. Please use a recognizable name as your nick.
Since this is an English class after all, we should avoid instant messaging slang when unnecessary. However, in the interest of being able to discuss in real-time, grammar and spelling do not have to be perfect (as long as your meaning is clear), and certain acronyms (e.g. btw for “By the way”) are acceptable.
If you have any questions about the IRC channel or opinions on the ad in general, please post a comment.
