Homework for Wednesday, Jan. 21.
Read these instructions carefully. After reading 9.1 in the SG, the first person to 'comment' will write 3 sentences about rhetorical analysis. Your job is to ADD three different sentences with more information about rhetorical analysis to their comment. Each person will ADD three different sentences to the information that has already been posted by the students in the class. So, if you are the first one, you can write whatever you want (as long as it is covered in the chapter). The other students must read all the previous posts and ADD to those.

Rhetorical analysis examines strategies authors or speakers use to argue in texts. These strategies are influenced by the audience it is intended to be appealing to. Rhetorical choices are grouped into three types, ethos, pathos, and logos, and each of them has a list of strategies employed to deliver the author’s message.
ReplyDeleteWhen doing rhetorical analysis, It is useful to find out the rhetorical situation, becaue the effectiveness of rhetorical strategies is highly related to the rhetorical situation.
