Homework, Wednesday, Oct. 25

-Juniors - 
Tonight, join Edpuzzle by going to this link: https://edpuzzle.com/join/ocnijov. Once you have joined, watch John Kelly's remarks to the press about Donald Trump's recent call to a widow of a soldier slain in Niger. As you watch, you will answer the questions as prompted. It is due by tomorrow morning and is only twelve minutes long. If you would like to read the speech as well, you can access it here: John Kelly's Remarks in the Briefing Room

Tip! Make sure you complete last night's homework researching the rhetorical situation of the speech first. Otherwise, you may be confused.
