Toxophilus Unleashed

Read pages 38-48 in the TLC book and apply one of the techniques enumerated therein to the Toxophilus excerpt from this book written by Roger Ascham in 1545 and dedicated to King Henry VIII (the assignment is on page 48).

I've linked the Toxophilus excerpt in a Google Docs version so you can copy the text into your Google Docs or Word if you wish. Using tables, you can do the dialectical journal or graphic organizer on Google Docs and you can annotate using comments. You may wish to bring something in done by hand, though. Not sure if you can circle and draw arrows in the way you may wish to in a Google Doc. I do encourage you to try your hand at the dialectical journal or the graphic organizer.

Since a number of people will wish to turn this in as a physical document, please print out your electronic efforts if that's the direction you take so that I receive all of the assignments in the same medium. Thank you!

Enjoy your trip back into the scientific observations and practical concerns of the mid-Sixteenth Century England!

Due Thursday (10/4) in class.

Lunch at Jerry's...mmm, mmm good!

It looks all right....

Now that we've read Serving in Florida, let's take a closer look at the text and her techniques.  Looking at the Questions on Rhetoric and Style on page 187, we have already discussed 1-2 and 12. In 4th period we also did 9, but not in 6th. For your blog, do questions 3-7 and 9-11.

Bring your books tomorrow. We're going to stick with this work theme a bit longer.
