Today and Tuesday during the period please use your time well as you write a clear, coherent and accurate 10-12 sentence paragraph in response to the prompt below. This paragraph will be a reflection of not only your close reading of Junod's essay, but of your careful attention to understanding our group and whole-class work in class as we considered the "drive home" of his argument.
Take out your essay as well as your notes, including your pyramid visual from the end of class Monday, to guide your analysis.
Respond the following prompt:
Carefully consider the closing of Junod's essay beginning with the second to last paragraph that begins "Jonathan Briley might be the falling man....."
Within the context of this paragraph's extended comparison of the man in the photo to a grave during a time of war, who is Junod arguing, implicitly, IS the "falling man" when he writes in his last sentence that we have know the identity of "the fallling man all along." Is he Jonathan Briley? More broadly, how does the photo, through his comparison to an "umarked grave," represent some larger group or groups and, ultimately, us?
Your paragraph must include:
1. CEC/body paragraph structure reviewed below
2. Accurate sentence structure across the entire paragraph (no fragments or run-ons)
3. Analysis of two rhetorical moves/strategies/devices he uses to drive home his argument here at the end.
4. Include in-text citation of page number (at the end of your sentence) on which each of the rhetorical strategies you're analyzing above in #3 appears.
5. The use of a subordinator in one sentence (remember we've talked about these: since, although, since, despite, even though, while, if....... - you can look up others)
6. A clear, logical flow to your line of reasoning in response to the prompt across your entire paragraph
7. Third person voice only
8. Formal, academic language
9. Accurate proofreading

Structure:
1. Topic Sentence/Claim: Begin your body paragraph of analysis with a topic sentence that begins roughly:
" Junod then shifts to close his essay by explicity solidfying his essay's argument: that --------- ."
2. Evidence: Provide two rhetorical moves/strategies/techniques in the form of direct quotes as evidence. Include the page number in parentheses at the end of the line of evidence.
3. Commentary/Analysis: How do Junod's dominant rhetorical moves here in the closing two paragraphs help him to reinforce his larger argument? (From your topic sentence above.) Begin your analysis sentences with a sentence stem something like:
"Through his use of ---------- (state the rhetorical strategy), Junod solidifies/establishes/reinforces the idea that ------------------ ."
