After reading E. B. White's "Here is New York," make three lists: 1. Examples of Machinery 2. Examples of Humanity 3. Instances of the ways that humanity and machinery overlap and how they do so. Press Conference Students will be separated into two groups: Presenters and Reporters. Presenters will speak on behalf of the ways the essay represents Humanity, Machinery, or the Overlap of the Two, citing and discussing quotations from the essay to support their points. Reporters will each be assigned to a publication. You will prepare questions that reflect the interests of your publication's audience. As the presenters respond to your questions, you will engage them in discussion, responding with examples from the essay. Large discussion of the ways that the essay represents New York will follow.

Working in four teams (Logos, Ethos, Pathos, and Kairos), review your term in chapter one of Understanding Rhetoric and address its role in Frank O’Hara’s “The Day Lady Died.”
Each group will present its findings to the class. Following our discussion of the ways the terms allow us to interpret the poem in new ways, synthesize your findings, composing a written response analyzing the role of logos, ethos, pathos, or kairos in the poem, examining at least one word or phrase from it as you do so. Working in small groups, discuss how your magazine from the Modernist Journals Project makes visual arguments and the significance of the arguments it makes. What is the relationship between the design of the magazine and its content? What does the magazine reflect about New York? Pair an example from your magazine with a frame from Understanding Rhetoric. After 15-20 minutes you will introduce the class to the arguments that your magazine makes and the connection you made toUnderstanding Rhetoric. Group 1: Others Group 2: The Smart Set Group 3: Scribner’s Magazine Group 4: The Seven Arts Group 5: McClure’s Magazine Group 6: Camera Work |
