Additional Info
Work with a partner on the Banneker letter prompt.  Do everything BUT write the essay.  Clearly identify at least one overarching strategy that can be supported with text and rhetorical devices, and put together an outline/skeleton version of an essay.  Write one specific argument in support of a strategy in which you embed text.  

Remember--to identify a strategy is different than identifying a device.  The devices are the little strategical elements that build the overall strategy.  You should be able to write at least one sentence that says something like, "One strategy Banneker uses to argue against slavery is..." and then be able to support that strategy with details from the text.

You have twenty minutes.
