ENC1101: Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat Speech by Winston Churchill (1940)


Cut and paste this speech by Winston Churchill into a Word document, then print it out. Highlight important sentences. When taking notes, refer to the post on this website, "How to Analyze and Evaluate an Argument." (See the Rubrics tab at top of website.) If there is not enough room for annotations on the printout, write notes in your binder. Indicate page numbers, paragraph numbers, line numbers, as appropriate. Also complete the "Shorter Analysis of a Text Activity": https://scholarmulhern.blogspot.com/2019/11/analysis-of-text-shorter-version.html. Please type the Shorter Analysis Activity, as you may need to email it to me.

Always remember to research some biographical facts about the author. Add these findings to your notes.
