 Today, we discuss Assata. Then look at another example of precis writing - "Fly the Friendly Skies" and begin "No Named Woman"

1. Name of author, [optional: a phrase describing author], genre, title of the work, date in parentheses (additional publishing information in parentheses or note); a rhetorically accurate verb (such as “assert,” “argue,” “suggest,” “imply,” “claim,” etc.); and a that clause containing the major assertion (thesis statement) of the work. First - AP Classroom.

2. An explanation of how the author develops and/or supports the thesis, usually in chronological order.

3. A statement of the author’s apparent purpose followed by an “in order to” phrase.

4. A description of the intended audience (and/or the relationship the author establishes

   with the audience) and a description of his or her tone. 

    

   HW: read chapter 3 Assata (if you did not finish it) and finish "No Name Woman"
