Ronald Reagan and the Challenger Explosion

Those of you that were absent today will need to make up the analysis essay of Nixon's "Checkers" speech ASAP.

Today in class we read and analyzed Ronald Reagan's address to the nation following the Challenger tragedy. Your homework is to analyze the tone, audience and purpose as well as the most effective rhetorical strategy per paragraph (ten total). This work is due Wednesday, since tomorrow is a student holiday. (If you're 18...don't forget to vote!) The school internet system is still full of kinks, so the link for the Reagan address is to a website rather than the Google doc. Send me an email if you're still having problems.

Since this is a rather detailed assignment, you just might have a Quickwrite assignment Wednesday.
