11.6 Presentations using the rhetorical structure of M. Obama's talk

Grades:  If you want to add missing work for the persuasive unig, or if you had work posted that I didn't see or was mislabled, make yourself a note of it, and post a notice on the landing page of the portfolio, and I will add the points when I assess the course as a whole (at the end of the analytic unit).

If you have make up work for the summary response unit, it is due by class November 11.
