Hey guys!
Just wanted to thank you for the time and effort that you put into your blogspot responses for George Orwell's 1984. The book was well-received by most students, who appreciated the rawness of the ideas presented in the work. Those that did not like the novel can still appreciate the profound political message contained within it. I look forward to seeing your propaganda posters and their political messages, too. :)
Your syllabus says that we are scheduled to begin working on transactive writing after the break. Unfortunately, we are a little behind schedule and will now combine the transactive writing unit with the speech writing unit. We will begin this after break, with Night following soon after.
Thanks again for all your hard work.
Mr. Parsons

What do you mean combine transactive writing unit with the speech writing unit? Does that mean that each lesson session will be cut in half, or does that mean we will work on both projects at the same time? Just wondering...
Good question, Anthony. It means that instead of working on a wide range of transactive styles, we will primarily focus on persuasive speeches and persuasive letter writing - both forms of transactive writing that are important real-world skills to possess.
Read the blog post on the unit and see if things become a little clearer.
Hope this answers your question. :)
