What are your most favorite moments in history to study or think about? Why? If you could go back in time to re-live a period of history, which period would that be? Why?

3 Ciceronian Prompt Choose a significant moment in history and explain why it is significant.

4 History: Pop Culture: Lincoln signs the Emancipation Proclamation President Kennedy is shot Titanic is sunk The moment Apollo 1 burned up The moment the planes hit the twin towers on 9/11 Atomic bomb is dropped The Wright Brothers fly the first airplane The moment the Berlin Wall fell Neil Armstrong walks on the moon Martin Luther King Jr. is assassinated Rosa Parks refuses to give up her seat on the bus Oklahoma City Federal bombing ensues The Cuban Missile Crisis (the moment Russia pulls missiles out of Cuba) The moment Columbus finds the new world Assassination of Frederick Ferdinand Hitler becomes chancellor of Germany Little Rock 9 (Arkansas) military escorts Louis Pasteur- Pasteurization is invented Invention of the printing press Moment women are first allowed to vote Moment penicillin is discovered Moment of the first climbing of Mount Everest First televised Presidential Debates in 1960 DNA discovered Title 9 is enacted (equal opportunity in athletics for women) First Special Olympics Interstate Highway system is created First discovery of concentration camps Barack Obama is elected as first African-American President Microsoft Corporation is founded Levi Strauss patents the blue jean Camera is invented TV is invented first TV show First commercial First radio broadcast First Oprah show Google founded World s first website launch McDonalds Corporation is founded Jackie Robinson plays his first major league game Jesse Owens winning the 100 yard dash Michael Phelps wins 8 medals in 2008 Wilt Chamberlain scores 100 points in basketball Michael Jordan retires from basketball to play baseball Miracle on Ice US upsets Russia in Olympic hockey Russia beats the US for the first time in Olympic basketball The Beatles come to America First reality TV show First Super Bowl Barbie is invented The moment any major company was invented (Coca-Cola, fashion, food service, store, etc.)

5 Structuring a Thesis/Claims Thesis: short, active verb, allencompassing Claims: must have FIDELITY to your thesis statement (they must prove what you are arguing)

6 How to structure claims 1. JFK Assassination What do you know about it? Why was it a significant moment in history?

7 Awful Claims The JFK assassination was a significant moment in history because the President died. Claim 1: He was shot Claim 2: He went to the hospital Claim 3: He died Why are these bad claims?

8 Needs Improvement The JFK Assassination was a significant moment in history because the highest leader in the US was shot. JFK was a great leader JFK was an important man JFK was a powerful man What is wrong with these claims?

9 Solid Claims Thesis: The assassination of John F. Kennedy was a significant moment in history because it forced the Secret Service to increase Presidential Security. No more riding in open cars No more unprotected Presidential strolls through densely populated areas Extended protection for Presidential Families Larger security bubbles now travel with the President Fewer individuals have access to the President in fewer ways The Secret Service has more than quadrupled in size since the assassination

10 Let s try one together Try to come up with a claim structure for 9/11 What happened on September 11 th? Why was September 11 th a significant moment in history?

11 Thesis: The attack on the World Trade Centers on 9/11 was a significant moment in history because it transformed/increased our country s security standards. Claim 1: Airport Security Claim 2: Web Security Claim 3: National/Military Security

12 Thesis: The Manhattan Project was a significant moment in history because it signaled the power of the United States to the world. Military Power (The US could now strike in ways it never had before) Technological/Innovative Power (The US proved it could out-innovate the rest of the world) Political Power (The US could now threaten in ways it never had before)

13 Thesis: Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball was a significant moment in history because it increased the acceptance of African Americans in athletics. African Americans were now allowed to play baseball African Americans began to become viewed as capable athletes African Americans began to be allowed to play other sports

14 Let s Try another one together What was significant about the invention of the Internet?

15 Thesis: The invention of the Internet was a significant moment in US history because it transformed the way Americans go about the most basic fundamental aspects of human life. Information (answers to questions are just a click away) Communication (communicating with one another is just a few buttons away through countless mediums) Shopping (purchasing items is now just a click away) Dating (one can simply create an on-line profile to meet others) Gaming/Entertainment Business

16 Writing the Ciceronian Essay 7 parts: Expositio Exordium Narratio Propositio Cofirmatio Refutatio Peroration

17 Expositio Define a significant moment in history. In order to determine if our event was a significant one in history, we must have criteria. What are some potential criteria for a significant moment in history?

18 Criteria Death Change Innovation Impacted a lot of individuals Changed the way we think or act in a major way

19 Write your expositio Define a significant moment in history in your own words

20 Exordium The exordium is the background information on your event. Simply tell me what happened. Ex: JFK died on November 22, 1963 from a gunshot wound to the head in Dallas, Texas. He was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, an ex-marine sharp shooter, who gunned him down from the 6 th floor window of the Texas Schoolbook Depository Explain what happened with: Dates Major plot points

21 Naratio Why is your topic important to discuss RIGHT NOW. Much like a justification statement from speech class, but without a statistic. Why is it important to read an essay about the JFK assassination RIGHT NOW? Why is it important to read an essay about landing on the moon RIGHT NOW?

22 Possible answers Something in the news recently has been similar People still write and talk about this event in the media An anniversary of this event is coming up People celebrate/observe this event yearly and do not understand why A major movie or book was just written about this subject and has America talking

23 Propositio Your thesis statement

24 Confirmatio The 3 body paragraphs of your essay State claim, prove claim

25 Refutatio Acknowledges an alternate point of view In this case, you must acknowledge that your event may not be considered by others as significant. Acknowledge their point of view and tell them why they are wrong.

26 Peroration Applying your event to another event Pick another significant moment in history and compare this event to the one you chose. Explain how they are similar and why they are both important.
