- Anything I should know?
- “They've had ethos/pathos/logos since September and can label it in their sleep. I want them past labeling — the question is why the writer picked it.”

Example
Grade 9 · English
New York
An instruction to skip something the class already knows — visible in what the lesson does not spend time on.
A real run through the product — the lesson, its materials and its adaptation, exactly as the teacher received them.
Matched from the objective against New York’s own standards — the teacher didn’t pick these.
Analyze how authors employ point of view, perspective, and purpose to shape explicit and implicit messages (e.g., examine rhetorical strategies, literary elements and devices). (RI&RL)
